(S)Edition: Prints as Activism
Entries due October 16, 2009
As part of its ongoing commitment to promote challenging, innovative practices in the visual arts, the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA) is seeking artists to submit entries to an international juried exhibition of contemporary printmaking. Accepted works will be exhibited in the Monroe Avenue Gallery of the UICA, from December 11th – March 5th, 2010. With respect to this exhibition, the concept of printmaking is an expansive one.
(S)Edition: Prints as Activism will provide a venue for contemporary artists to connect the 21st century language of printmaking to the medium’s history as an instrument of democracy. Exhibited artists will demonstrate the viability of prints to engage issues of social and environmental justice. For centuries, multiplicity and the potential for widespread dissemination have made print media an ideal vox populi (voice of the people.) The conceptual focus of (S)Edition is printmaking’s continuing service in this role.
