poster for "Rock Paper Scissors" Exhibition

This event has ended.

Applied to this exhibition, the title ROCK PAPER SCISSORS* is a broad analogy for the full circle of shifting "power" elements within a work of art. In this interplay, with "rock" representing the physicality of art-object, "paper" representing power of communication, and "scissors" representing tools of process, all exist in symbiosis, but shift in weight relative to each work

This exhibition concentrates on paintings, collages, and hand pulled prints by 13 diverse and independent artists, loosely associated by a common project, and all displaying an essential common trait: the pursuit of excellence in their craft. Central to this association is the Red Hook studio of master printer Sheila Goloborotko. An accomplished and internationally recognized artist in her own right, she is universally lauded for her ability to draw out the talents of artists working with her. The process of producing an edition of prints requires thinking in reverse, and thinking in sequence. The artistry comes from accomplishing this mindful, logical approach, without sacrificing the spontaneity and vibrancy of the artwork. Making art in a world dominated by digitally captured, generated and/or manufactured images, the creation of traditionally produced prints have become part of each artist's oeuvre.

Also on view will be the "Goloborotko's Studio 20th Anniversary Edition" Print Portfolio. Each of the 40 portfolios published in the 20th Anniversary Edition, consists of 13 numbered and signed 20” x 16” original prints on Rives BFK 300 gsm paper, unbound and housed in an archival clamshell presentation box. There are 16 portfolios available for purchase. One portfolio is part of the permanent collection of Brazilian museum "Pinacoteca de São Paulo".

An artists talk will be held Wednesday evening, July 21, 2010, starting at 6:30 pm. A panel discussion will be led by master printers Sheila Goloborotko and Agnes Murray on the subject of connoisseurship in printmaking and the history of creating the portfolio. Many of the other artists will speak about their experiences developing and producing a work for a collective project, and the relationship of the workshop to their independent studio practice.
