PNCA MFA Print Media

This Wednesday! We are thrilled to welcome visiting artist Oliver Lee Jackson for an artist talk on his work!

Oct. 6th - 6:30 pm
streamed on “PNCA LiveVideo” Youtube Channel

The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies is thrilled to welcome artist and printmaker, Oliver Jackson. Oliver will discuss his work and practice in conversation with Paul Mullowney, founder of Mullowney Printing and Matthew Letzelter, Chair of the MFA in Print Media at PNCA.

Oliver Lee Jackson (b. 1935, St. Louis, MO) is a painter, sculptor, draftsman, and printmaker, whose works are grounded in figuration. His printmaking, which he approaches as drawing, incorporates varied intaglio techniques, as well as woodblock prints on paper and canvas. For the past few years, his printing has been done exclusively by Paul Mullowney/Mullowney Printing. Jackson has collaborated with musicians, writers, and dramatists who include Julius Hemphill, Marty Ehrlich, Quincy Troupe, Paul Carter Harrison, Michael Harper, and others. His most recent print project is the limited-edition folio Dear Friend, 2021, combining photogravures of Jackson’s drawings with hand-written music manuscripts by Julius Hemphill. Jackson’s works have been exhibited in museums and galleries for more than five decades. In 2019, the National Gallery of Art presented a solo exhibition of his recent paintings, curated by Harry Cooper, Senior Curator of Modern Art. An exhibition spanning over fifty years of works is currently on view at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Jackson’s works are in collections that include the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC and many others. Since 1982 Jackson’s studio has been in Oakland, California.

This conversation will be presented on “PNCA LiveVideo”, PNCA’s YouTube channel.

Free and Open to the Public. All are welcome.

“The breaking down of these images mimics the dissection of the issues at hand. This work illustrates the processing and reprocessing of thought, the cobbling together of identity, and a representation of the technical process.”

Installation view of work by MFA in Print Media student Margaux Mellott in the annual PNCA First Year Exhibtion! Working in both print and ceramics, Margaux describes this work as her ‘Comfort Station’, with the chair holding a ‘sext message pillow’ and a table covered with other ‘creature comforts’, items for distraction and connection, including a tissue box, a risograph printed zine, an ashtray and ‘the smoker’ coaster. This is what coping during Covid-times looks like. .

On Wednesday, April 28, at 6:30 pm, Alley Pezanoski-Browne, an alumna of the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA, gives a talk as part of the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies Lectures Series. The talk is being streamed over Zoom and PNCA’s Youtube Channel.

Pezanoski-Browne offers a case study of her path from a student of the Critical Studies MA to her current role as the Executive Director of the Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC.org) to illustrate how academic research can directly shape how we envision our spaces, communities, and work, and why art & theory students are uniquely equipped to create change.

First Year Exhibition work by MFA Print Media student Rayn Singree! Multimedia installation titles “Shawn”, an portrait of Rayn’s mother who she lost in 2015. Rayn is interested in exploring how we memorialize those who have passed away and how we tend to lose the complexity of a person, instead of holding the memories of both their triumphs and their faults.
