PCNY members were invited to a curator-led exhibition tour at the International Print Center New York (ICPNY) of their exhibition, Paper/Print: American Hand Papermaking, 1960s to Today on Thursday, May 3rd, 2018 at 5:00 PM.
Co-curator Susan Gosin, led the tour through this exhibition was the first to trace the American hand-papermaking revolution as an outgrowth of the printmaking renaissance. It brought together the best, along with some of the rarest and lesser known examples, of two-dimensional works, artist books, and cast-paper multiples to spotlight the closely intertwined American stories of printmaking and papermaking in the contemporary period. Spanning more than fifty years, the exhibition examined the transformation of paper from its traditional role as a substrate for prints to an active partner—and stand-alone medium—in the creation of editions and unique works by such groundbreaking artists of the 20th and 21st century as Mel Bochner, Lynda Benglis, Chakaia Booker, Lesley Dill, Leonardo Drew, David Hockney, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Richard Tuttle, to name just a few.
