PROCESS & ALCHEMY
Civilian Art Projects is pleased to announce two group exhibitions:
"Screams & Screens" curated by Panache and "Process & Alchemy: New
Directions & Alternative Processes in Screen-printing, Work from the
Hand Print Workshop International." An opening reception will be held
Friday, June 27, 2008 from 7 - 9 pm. Both exhibitions are on view from
June 27 until July 26, 2008.
This summer, the galleries at Civilian Art Projects will be
overflowing with unique and distinct approaches to screen-printing.
The artists curated by Panache - Bert Bergen, Alexander Campaz, Brian
Chippendale, Rob Corradetti, Nat Damm, Sohale Darouian aka 333, El
Jefe Design, E*Rock, Jesjit Gill, Gunsho, Kayrock & Wolfy, Jason
Killinger, Nick Pimentel aka Planaria, Seripop, Urban Inks and Zeloot
approach the print from an individual perspective, bringing to the
work a unique "eye burner" aesthetic, a phrase used by Urban Inks, one
of the design groups in the exhibition, as heard by the curator.
According to Panache, "the vibrant colors and bold contrasts
compounded with multiple layers of patterns and screens, adds a
discombobulating visual effect on the viewer. Each poster 'pops' or
'screams' out at you, and is unique from the next print because each
one is individually produced through its own screening process. This
creates a freedom in the work that lends the artist a medium that has
no boundaries, limitations or defined lines. Hopefully making you stop
and think or at least take a second glance at what's in front of you
and the world around you."
PROCESS & ALCHEMY: New Directions & Alternative Processes in Screen-
printing, Work from the Hand Print Workshop International
In the words of HPWI Director Dennis O'Neil, "powders, waxes, resists
and adhesives are just part of the alchemy that has transformed
collaborative screen printing and brought it back from the brink of
extinction nearly a decade ago with a new face, new possibilities and
challenges for a new age."
Civilian is thrilled to curate a selection of works from the studio
including prints by R. Martin Abeyta, Christine Carr, Andrey Chezhin,
Alexander Djikia, James Huckenpahler, Erick Jackson, Alyona Kirtsova,
Igor Makarevich, Pavel Makov, Renee Stout, Tomas Rivas, Alexander
Rodchenko, and Leonid Tishkov.
