Description of Pictures: Crossing Boundaries & Breaking Borders: DMV Printmaking
June 15-August 11, 2019
Curated by Matthew McLaughlin
Presented by the Alper Initaitive for Washington Art
The District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region is full of boundaries and borders, both physical—like the state lines that divide these artists -- and imagined -- political ideology, economic class, gender identity, religious belief. These boundaries delineate spaces, groups, ideas, and more, but they are easily walked over, pushed through, and broken down. Furthermore, the artists featured in Crossing Boundaries and Breaking Borders: DMV Printmaking also question, push, and break down the traditional notions of what printmaking is as a technique, how it can be used, and how printmaking can be defined.
Featuring artists: Danqi Cai, Brigitte Caramanna, Eric Celarier, Justyne Fischer, Jenny Freestone, Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter, Maggie Gourlay, Amelia Hankin, Mimi Herbert, Marty Ittner, Nilou Kazemzadeh, Brian Kirk, Lauren G. Koch, Jun Lee, Pete Morelewicz, Gretchen Schermerhorn, Gail Shaw-Clemons, Terry Svat, and R.L. Tillman

Curated by Matthew McLaughlin
KATCRO_190614_244.JPG: The District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region is full of boundaries and borders, both physical-like the state lines that divide these artists-and imagined-political ideology, economic class, gender identity, religious belief, cultural affiliations. These boundaries delineate spaces, groups, ideas, and more, but they are easily walked over, pushed through, and broken down. Furthermore, the artists featured in Crossing Boundaries and Breaking Borders: DMV Printmaking also question, push, and break down the traditional notions of what printmaking is as a technique, how it can be used, and how printmaking can be defined.
Lithography, intaglio, relief, and screen print are the four pillars of printmaking. Each technique has taken time, effort, and experimentation by hundreds, if not thousands, of artists to create and develop into the forms we know today. Each has its own unique characteristics, and learning to work with each takes patience and an inquisitive nature, which is why printmakers continue to push and develop their art form beyond historical methodologies. For example, while prints have been traditionally matted and framed, more and more contemporary artists are discarding that tradition and considering other means of displaying (and thus experiencing) their artworks. They are contemplating how printmaking can move past the frame and into new forms to further engage the viewer. Crossing Boundaries and Breaking Borders highlights the local DC, Maryland, and Virginia artwork that speaks to the beginnings of a new direction for printmaking as an art form that enhances the contemporary art dialogue.
