The Center for Contemporary Printmaking Press Release
NORWALK, CT—January 11, 2016 The Center for Contemporary Printmaking is excited to announce its international traveling show HORIZONS that will premiere with the Cork Printmakers at the Quay Gallery in Cork, Ireland, February 2016. The exhibition will then travel to Fyns Grafiske Vaerksted, in Odense, Denmark in May. This exhibition is comprised of thirty-five works by sixteen artist members of the Center and explores representations of horizons both physical and perceptual. HORIZONS is an opportunity for the Center’s member artists to showcase their work internationally at world-renowned printmaking facilities.
Bernstein Peeling Pink
Executive Director Laura G. Einstein remarked, “This exhibition provides an ideal opportunity for our member artists to exhibit their works in two extraordinary printmaking venues overseas. It is gratifying to see that the Center for Contemporary Printmaking has a growing international presence and our members have another chance to have their work shown around the globe. In 2014, works by the Center’s artist members were displayed as part of the Pendle International Print Festival in conjunction with the Heritage Centre Gallery in Pendle, England.”
HORIZONS was juried by Faye Hirsch. Hirsch is a writer, editor and teacher who has published widely on contemporary art, including more than 100 articles and reviews in Art in America where she was a senior editor. Hirsch received her Ph.D. in the History of Art from Yale University in 1987. About the works she selected, Hirsch wrote, “The works in this exhibition cover a wide range of influences and habits…These sixteen artists look beyond the colony—beyond the niceties of craft and the border-hemmed province of printmaking—as they balance between the seductions of their medium and a larger practice that offers authentic expression its full outlet.”
