TEN: An Exhibition of Contemporary Printmaking

Curated by Kristopher Hedley & Dylan McManus

Printmaking embraces the idea of the collective- whether it is a team of printers in a commercial shop or a group of artists working within the context of a studio co-op. The art form repeatedly turns to this idea of the group. TEN: A Group Exhibition of Contemporary Printmaking surveys current print based art works and reveals the spirit and group dynamic of an art form enriched with the free exchange of ideas. In the exhibit TEN we have assembled works from ten artists, each of whom are engaging contemporary printmaking practice and who have also had previous experiences working together; either through the sharing of work space or in the collaboration of concept and process. TEN both reflects the current critical concerns of contemporary print-artists and examines the dialogue and relationships manifested through the proximity of these cutting edge and dynamic artworks.

The featured artist’s include:

Vernon Byron
Robert Capozzi
Alexandra Davis
Kristopher Hedley
Beth Palmer
April Warren
Dylan McManus
Carly Still
Carlos Uribe
Ustya Tarnawsky

Robert Capozzi’s mélange is an art installation of photographic-based work that suggests notions of privacy, protection and alienation. Derived from various lens-based image-making methods, the exhibition merges the results of various types of digital and analog media.

Often using obsolete film cameras and low-end image scanners to capture his subject, the imposed limitations become a challenge that adds a poetic unknown to the process. A faith in film as an intermediary adds mystery in the making process, vastly unknown in a convenient, rapid-fire digital era. Capozzi affirms, “such with life, flaws are often apparent but hover merely at the surface.”

Both stark and subtle, mélange employs elements including archival digital prints to “Frankensteined” electronics including LCD displays and cast off television sets. The result is a quasi-interactive record of light, shadow and reflection.

“Everyone carries a shadow,” Jung wrote, “and the less it is embodied
in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.”
