RISD Printmaking

Printmaking Biennial!! Opening January 26th 7pm.

It’s all in the details as our experiments pick-up momentum in “The Sculptural Print”… Repurposed-proofs of woodcuts are becoming full on installation-like environments, Polymer plate intaglio prints are coating armor-like shields, Newsprint is being pushed to new significance as a weaving material that actually holds-weight, Plexi and wood are fusing to create strange mechanical devices that are at once ancient and futuristic, Paper is becoming wearable and performative, Laser cut wood is meshing with digitally printed vinyl to create large-scale free-standing sculptures, Screenprinting is being reworked in W***y Wonka’s Chocolate Factory to create giant versions of sweets that at second glance aren’t so sweet after all, and we’re mining the depths of fantastical seas to discover what seems to be artifactual remains of a fantastical aquatic beast…! (Not yet posted: A linocut is being transformed into an ornate paper lantern, and Hand-printed foamcore is being built into scale architectural models!) …Printed matter and all things related to the matrix are being pushed and re-envisioned daily! And, AMAZINGLY, we’re only 3-weeks in…! Many more updates to come!

This is a teaching studio. We offer lunchtime daily talks or films, invited guests give talks, and we offer you an opportunity to give a presentation on your work as well. Lesley and Sarah will talk to you about archiving, model making, care of materials, studio organization, and the process of preparation for a multi-level project. We will talk about the early American visionaries featured in this exhibition.

The home-based studio working days are Wednesdays-Fridays, 9:45-5:00, and the studio is located in Brooklyn Heights.
We ask for a commitment of one to three days a week for 2-3 months.
