迫切要求改变

2024年1月5日- 3月23日

 

知识就是力量. Since the early days of printing, the press helped disseminate knowledge broadly. Printmakers often utilize the power of the multiple to critically confront contemporary social issues. 迫切要求改变 will celebrate the ways printmakers provide an accessible voice for change. 通过多种途径, these printmakers inspire action while exploring relationships of community, 土地, 还有环境.

CVA的打开 迫切要求改变 in conjunction with 2024’s Mo’Print. Artists in the exhibition examine the state of our vulnerable environment, either directly or through its effects on culture and identity, 不断变化的世界. These multi-disciplinary artists have printmaking at the core of their artmaking practice. 迫切要求改变 was curated by Melanie Finlayson. The exhibition will be on view 2024年1月5日- 3月23日 at 视觉艺术中心, MSU 丹佛.

Environmental effects on community appear in the work of 艾米丽·亚瑟 and 约翰。希区柯克 who observe the natural world though their ancestral ties to the 土地. 在一个名为 固定电话, Hitchcock paints and screenprints onto large pieces of Naugahyde that resemble the stretched skins of deer.

胡安娜·埃斯特拉达·埃尔南德斯 offers a look at her cultural history as a “DACA-mented” artist. Using various printmaking techniques, Hernandez illustrates the experience and 土地scape of immigrating from Mexico to the U.S., using the stories of her own family’s journey across borders.

Environmental change appears throughout the work of Raymundo穆尼奥斯, 苏珊·高塞尔·坎贝尔, 卡伦·昆克. Goethel Campbell creates art in collaboration with the environment, cataloging both subtle and extreme changes in 土地scapes and plants. With brightly colored and intricately detailed woodcuts, Kunc presents viewers with abstracted 土地scapes and elements of the natural world that suggest surreal records of natural events such as ice storms, 火山爆发, 还有盛开的花园.
