We invited eleven East Coast art schools to nominate up and coming printmakers, and from these nominees we selected twenty-two talented artists. Participating schools are: The LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, Columbia University; Cornell University, College of Architecture, Art & Planning; Hunter College of the City University of New York; Pratt Institute; Rhode Island School of Design; Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; Syracuse University; Tyler School of Art; The University of the Arts; University of Pennsylvania; and Virginia Commonwealth University, School of the Arts. Works chosen for the exhibition utilize traditional techniques such as etching, woodcut, silkscreen and lithography, as well as current advances in digital technology. The show includes two- and three-dimensional objects, handmade paper, artist books, and mixed media installations that expand the conventional boundaries of printmaking, and identify innovative trends in contemporary art.

It references the passage of time, with skeletal structures reminiscent of archeological sites suggesting the distant past. Worn childhood furniture and objects from contemporary life evoke the more immediate past. Whether she uses actual objects or illumination and shadow as expressive vehicles, mystery permeates Ms. Held's work. Often elegiac in tone, it suggests memory and loss, as well as fertility.

Although a weaver for many years, Schulman turned to techniques and materials that allowed more personal freedom of expression. However, her love of pattern and structure, key components of weaving, continue to influence her work. Along with hand and machine embroidery, this artist also uses credit card fragments, commercial fabric labels, embroidered patches and deconstructed text. Schulman's work in unexpected materials may sometimes be construed as commentary on society's consumerism. ]]> http://www.hunterdonartmuseum.org/exhibits/#000486 http://www.hunterdonartmuseum.org/exhibits/#000486 Exhibits Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:24:04 +0000 Hunterdon Art Museum is extremely proud to offer "Sketching with Watercolor" A workshop with wildlife artist Beatrice Bork Beatrice will demonstrate and discuss the fine points of how to study a subject while outdoors.
