Join artist Enrique Chagoya, currently on view in (Re)Print: Five Projects, and master printer Bud Shark of Shark’s Ink in a conversation about art, cultural dialogue, collaboration, and the current crisis. A Bay Area painter and printmaker and a professor of Art Practice at Stanford University, Chagoya uses complex political satire to question the nature of historical events, American history, and contemporary politics, expressing some of his most important ideas in print. Since 1997 he has collaborated with the Colorado-based Shark, whose workshop encourages artists to pursue a strong personal vision. Sarah Kirk Hanley, a Chagoya scholar and Executive Director of Manhattan Graphics Center, and Judy Hecker, Director of IPCNY, facilitate this discussion of Chagoya’s and Shark’s early and present-day work and concerns.

To celebrate the 350th anniversary of the oldest surviving print from Colonial America, we have assembled all five extent copies of the portrait of the Reverend Richard Mather (1596-1669) to compare them. Never exhibited together in a physical gallery, this virtual presentation will help to address the many unanswered questions surrounding the five woodcuts, such as why is his shoulder so uneven? When were they actually printed? And what was the purpose of the picture?

Princeton University is fortunate to own one of these rare impressions. With our sincere thanks, the other copies are shown courtesy of the American Antiquarian Society; Houghton Library, Harvard University; Massachusetts Historical Society, and the Tracy W. McGregor Library of American History, University of Virginia.

Please join us for a live zoom talk at 2:00 p.m. EDT on May 22, 2020, beginning with a presentation by Julie Mellby, Graphic Arts Curator, Princeton University Library, followed by a conversation with Caroline Duroselle-Melish, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Early Modern Books and Prints and Associate Librarian for Collection Care and Development, Folger Shakespeare Library.

In the early 20th century, Mexican artists embraced printmaking as a means of reaching a broader audience, creating works that expressed the sociopolitical concerns central to the nation’s 1910–20 revolution and its aftermath. In this seminar, curator Mary Schneider Enriquez will explore the topic through a range of works—from José-Guadalupe Posada’s broadsheets and the iconic, post-revolution images by muralists David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, and Diego Rivera, to the politically charged works of Leopoldo Méndez and the print collective Taller de Gráfica Popular.

This free seminar will be presented live on Zoom. Please visit the 'External Link' below to register.

Artillery Magazine and Mixografia are pleased to present a conversation between some of John Baldessari's closest collaborators. Ezrha Jean Black leads a discussion between print publishers and studio partners from across Los Angeles, candldily remembering John Baldessari's impact as a figurehead of conceptual art, as well as the friendships and collaborative relationships developed in the pursuit of making art. Participants include Amanda McGough and Brienne Arrington (John Baldessari Studio); Jeff McMane (Gemini G.E.L); Jean Milant (Cirrus Gallery & Editions); Shaye Remba (Mixografia); Jacob Samuel (Edition Jacob Samuel); and Francesco X.

Continuing the Blanton's #MuseumFromHome experience, we present a conversation about the Blanton’s recent acquisitions of important works by four groundbreaking female artists. Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs Carter Foster and Assistant Curator of Prints and Drawings Holly Borham present the works and then participate in an “Ask Me Anything”-style Q&A from our online audience. From a drawing by Elisabetta Sirani, who established a painting academy for woman artists in Bologna, Italy in the mid-seventeenth century, to prints by twentieth-century trailblazers Elizabeth Catlett, Helen Frankenthaler, and Barbara Jones-Hogu, our curators discuss the ways these recent additions to the collection expand the story the Blanton can tell about the history of art. This program was originally recorded on April 14, 2020.

Katherine Mintie, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow in Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, examines a group of political posters made by artist Ben Shahn in the 1940s. This essay is part of Harvard Art Museums From Home, a series of online programs presented while the museums are closed that spotlights new stories about the collections.

Renowned and prize-winning art historian Michael Lobel, Professor, Art History at Hunter College, shares insights from his ground-breaking research exploring the influences from the period’s print popular culture on the thinking and art of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most beloved and enigmatic artists of all time. While we’ve all seen the work of Van Gogh in innumerable printed formats—in posters, exhibition catalogues, and full-color reproductions of all sorts—many are less familiar with the artist’s keen interest in the print culture of his time. This lecture will survey some of Van Gogh’s most significant influences of that type, particularly from the 19th-century English illustrated press, and explore their profound impact on his thinking and his art. Event will conclude with live virtual Q&A.

After a short presentation on Mail Art in Argentina and Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s, Blanton Museum Curators Vanessa Davidson and Florencia Bazzano will discuss Mail Art in Latin America as an artistic survival strategy. A potent means of subversion that flew under the radar of government censorship, Mail Art enabled Latin American artists to establish relationships with like-minded artists around the globe during an era in which social distancing was strictly enforced by repressive military regimes. After dictatorship, in the 1980s and 1990s, Mail Art functioned as a life-line to international collaborators and friends all over the world who Latin American artists “met” by using the postal system as a ready-made medium to be subverted to artistic ends.
