We are extremely pleased withthe exhibition’s artistic excellence,range of subject matter, and diversityof techniques. We’d like to thank allof the artists who participated in thecall for entries and contributed to themaking of such a competitiveselection process.

AN INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ARTISTS

THE BOSTON PRINTMAKERS WINTER 2011 2

Marc Cote

The Summer and Fall of 2010 proved to be busy seasons for theBoston Printmakers. We moved into our new office at the ArtInstitute of Boston, exhibited “thINK” (our 2010 members show)at its first three venues, sponsored a trip to Guanajuato, Mexico,and Jim Dine juried our 2011 North American Print Biennial.Personally, I also had the pleasure of attending my first Mid-America Print Council Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Big thanks go to CandyNartonis, David Thomasand Renee Covalucci forspearheading our searchfor a new office space.Also thanks to StanTrecker, Marlo Brooks,and Michael David forbeing so supportive ofthe Printmakers,welcoming us into theArt Institute of Boston.Residing at AIB willallow for a higher level ofengagement with theprint department wherestudents will learn aboutour organization andmission first hand.Students will be availableto attend demonstrationsand talks by visitingartists at AIB hosted by The Printmakers, and some may work asinterns in our office. We will enjoy generous office space, as well asthe atmosphere and energy of an art school. Currently we’re housedat 601 Newbury Street in Boston, but plans are underway for amove to the new AIB facility in Porter Square of Cambridge 3 or 4years down the road. We are extremely excited about our newpartnership! (Please note that our new mailing address differs fromour physical address.)

The Members Show “thINK” began with a bang at the ZulloGallery in Medfield, MA. Because of the great response to our callfor entries, we had to deal with the size of the show by exhibitingit in 2 installments with 2 separate receptions. Many thanks go togallery director Bill Pope for bringing the show to Zullo.

We organized “thINK” (180 prints) into three sections (red, blue,and green) so that smaller venues could take in the show. Withgallery director Nan Rogers’ help, we mounted the “Red” group atthe Belmont Gallery in Belmont, MA. In addition to the openingreception, we organized an artists’ talk with members Debra Arter,Rita Kuolas, and Susan Jaworski-Stranc speaking about their work

to a nice crowd of about 50. Both Zullo and the Belmont Gallerysold members’ prints and we look forward to future sales as theshow travels to more venues.

The “Blue” group is traveling back home en route from the BuenaVista University Gallery, where it had a month-long exhibit. The"thINK" show is at the Huntsville Museum of Art, Huntsville AL,

where all three sectionsare on view untilJanuary 30, 2011.“thINK” can also beviewed as a slide showon our website.

The Board of theBoston Printmakers andseveral membervolunteers are gearingup now for the activityleading up to theBiennial. Well-knownartist Jim Dine took onthe difficult task ofwhittling 2,064 entriesfrom 811 artists downto 149 prints. This was arecord number ofentries for theexhibition. The showlooks amazing and we’re

looking forward to seeing all the great prints as they get shipped tous. We do realize, by the way, that the Café entry process wasproblematic for some of you, so we are looking into alternativeimage data entry programs for the 2013 Biennial. We hope that wesee many of you at the opening for the Biennial on February 27,2011 at the Danforth Museum in Framingham. The ArchesStudent Show runs concurrently with the Biennial at the Danforthand I’m certain it will highlight some great works from promisingyoung printmakers.

I had a wonderful time traveling to Minneapolis for the MAPCConference in October. Many of our BP members had prints in thenumerous exhibitions and portfolios displayed throughoutMinneapolis and St. Paul. University of Minnesota’s campusprovided an incredible venue for the conference, with closeproximity to the Minneapolis Center for the Book Arts amongother exciting galleries, museums, art centers and schools. Congratsto outgoing MAPC President (and new Boston Printmakersmember!) Charles Beneke and site organizer Jenny Schmid for afantastic conference!

Announcements for The BostonPrintmakers traveling show

Dear Boston Printmaker Members, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Marty Epp-Carter andI am an artist and member of the Boston Printmakers Board. I’vebeen the Southeast Regional Rep for The Printmakers for almost 4years, since I moved from Boston, (my home for 25 years) toGreenville, SC. I am delighted to be able to serve as the editor forour newsletter following in the capable footsteps of JonathanCartledge.

This has been a busy time since the last newsletter. In that busynesschanges transpired. Art on Paper closed its covers and the sadnessover that reverberates throughout the 2D world. Thanks to ShellyBancroft and Peter Nesbett for their undeniable contribution tothe ongoing dialogue about works on paper.

SGC in Philadelphia coincided with Philagrafika and the city wasabuzz with printmakers from all over the world. For me, thecompressed experience of SGC is a time to inspire, entice andencourage my thoughts about the printmaking community and myplace in it.

Speaking of place, mine has changed over the last few months. I’vegone from being a grad student to being an instructor and am justnow recovering from the resulting whiplash. Here’s the reality:grad school is a blessing in wolf ’s clothing, energy drinks lose theirappeal after graduation, I’ll never again take my husband forgranted, and my wardrobe is poorly suited for being in front of aclassroom.

The wonderful thing about the community of printmakers is thatwe are one big family that stays connected despite being inconstant flux. Artists in general tend to feel connected andprintmaker’s in particular are connected by our uniquerequirements of ink, presses and tools. That connection is nodifferent here in South Carolina than it was in Boston. I’m happyto know that it stays the same no matter where we go.

Marty Epp-Carter

LETTER FROM EDITOR


Candy Nartonis

Substrates are a key factor in printmaking, affecting the tone of thepiece. Therefore, paper, more often used for printmaking than anyother substrate, is of key importance. The ink either sinks into thepaper, floats on the surface, takes to the surface, or is repelled by it.Printmakers love paper and new papers get our attention.

A new paper is now available through Legion, and it is special.Produced by Cartiera Magnani, the Italian mill founded in 1404,this new Revere line of papers comes in three surfaces, and is madefrom tree-free 100% cotton linters. It is acid and chlorine free, andhas a neutral pH. In their own words: “Revere was a project by theMagnani paper mill…to create a line of papers suitable for allprinting and drawing techniques at an affordable price withoutcompromising the quality.”

Legion offered samples for testing in Boston, and I parceled out thepaper to a few area printers. Of the three surfaces (Felt, Suede, andSilk), we tried Suede and Silk.

I worked with layers of free hand and plate lithography. Revere Silktook all the ink beautifully and subtly. I loved working with thispaper. It has a very soft “hand.” The paper colors are beautiful, andwell suited to printmaking. I will be using this paper often.

Comments by two other printers who worked with Revere:

“I printed on both the Suede and Silk finishes and found thesurfaces to be quite nice for lithography. The papers took the inkwell. I really liked the tones of the Bisque and Ivory sheets.However, I did find that the watermark remains very visible whenprinting a 22 x 30" bleed image. Other than that, the papers are awelcome addition.”-Carolyn Muskat, Muskat Studios

"The paper is very soft and quite thin - for water-based screenprints, these qualities may not be the greatest asset. If you do usethe paper for screen print, keep it to two or three colors, maximum.I am working on a multi-run, reduction silkscreen, and the paper

buckled noticeably after the fourth color. I believe it would be mostsuitable for sensitive intaglio processes like roulette or fineaquatints." -Jon Cartledge

Author’s Note: Larger sheets come in heavier paper and some arenot watermarked. Members might be interested in going to theLegion Paper web site and reading how other printmakers haveworked with Revere Papers. Go to www.legionpaper.com, andunder “Our Collection,” then “By brand” and link to Revere.

Boston Printmaker’s has a new “home”!The Boston Printmakersat The Art Institute of Boston-Lesley University700 Beacon StreetBoston MA 02215

We have moved our offices to a newly renovated space at the ArtInstitute of Boston. We are so thankful to Emmanuel College forthe years they hosted us, and we are excited about our newrelationship with AIB.

A Note from a MemberI want to tell you all that I just discovered how beautifully the“thINK” exhibit is represented on the Boston Printmaker's website.I can hardly believe that each section is represented and all theimages and "recipes" can be accessed. Congratulations!!!

I'm writing both to say "thanks" and to say that this feature of thewebsite is a bit hidden among other good things on the site. I onlynow discovered that these extensive listings regarding “thINK" arethere because I found a link to them on Katherine Kernan's websiteand then explored.

Now I see that I can get to all of this from the Printmaker's websitebut I had looked at the overall information for “thINK” severaltimes (found some videos and the whole list of participating artists)but never found this link. So I've added a link from my blog,http://ellyrubinjournal.typepad.com back to the extensive archiveof images and statements on the Boston Printmaker's site.

Printmaking in Maine Midcoast Printmakers, in Damariscotta ME, have a well-equippedstudio that is perfectly suited to artists who wish to vacation andprint at the same time. It’s a wonderful location, with modest feesand qualified instructors. Ongoing classes in relief, lithography,monotypes and woodcut. For information please contact DebraArter at [email protected]

Printmaker Denise Karabinus-Telang is teaching several intaglioand monotype-centered classes, including My Life in 5 Chapters: ACollage Journal. This six-week course allows students to deeplyexamine and visually represent five pivotal moments of their lives.Creative writing assignments and exploration of new materials willevolve into deeply personal images. Guided class discussions anddemonstrations of techniques such as transfers, monotype andencaustic will be explored, and students will end the class with anexquisite hand-bound journal. Karabinus-Telang teachesworkshops at Maine College of Art and taught in the Digi-TechPrint Program, at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, PortlandMuseum of Art and the Institute of Contemporary Art.

The Boston Printmakers Forum on CreativityGuanajuato, Mexico August 7-14, 2010

Carole Bencich and Kristen Struebing Beazley

Arriving in Guanajuato, Mexico for an International Forum onCreativity, The Boston Printmakers settled into restored historicaccommodations with very auspicious names: La Casa de EspiritusAllegres (House of Happy Spirits) and Alma del Sol (Soul of theSun). Both bed and breakfasts offered rich and stimulating settingsfor art, La Casa with Carol Summers’ collection of Mexicanfolkloric art, and Alma del Sol with Summers’ internationalcollection of heirloom textiles. Happy spirits did indeed presideover the busy week of sightseeing, workshops, conversation, foodand printmaking.

Renee Covalucci coordinated a program that included two days ofcultural touring to Diego Rivera’s birthplace, several potterystudios, and local cathedrals along the way to San Miguel deAllende. Since this was also the route of the 200-year-old Mexicanwar for independence, we got a preview of the Bicentennial Festivalthat will take place September 2010.

Carol Summers, Karen Kunc, and Hugo Anaya presentedworkshops at La Casa’s studio in which they shared their inventivetechniques for creating woodblock prints. Later the group movedto Jim Hibbard’s and Hugo Anaya’s large Piramidal Grafica studioto begin work on a collaborative book and gallery exhibit. Each of16 artists made two 11.5” square prints, drawing from the vibrantcolors and natural and cultural images of Mexico, including theretablo, an iconographic rendering of a miracle experienced ordisaster survived, together with a statement of thanks. The retabloformat features a two-part structure, often incorporating text belowthe image.

The printmakers shared not only a common studio space, but alsoinks and tools and individual inspirations from the threeworkshops. Mentoring and collaboration easily took place in thePiramidal Grafaica’s generous space. The studio, like La Casa de

Espiritus Allegres, was built within the ruins of a 17th century silvermine hacienda, with adaptive architecture featuring stone arches,boveda curved brick ceilings, and lush gardens.

At the end of a hardworking week, printmakers celebrated with agala dinner hosted by La Casa. Chef Angelica Anaya outdid herselfwith Chiles en Nogada, a delicious stuffed pepper dish dressed ingoat cheese sauce and garnished with bright red pomegranate seeds– the red, white and green imitating the colors of the Mexican flag.The printmakers’ week was not only productive it was a personallyrewarding time for all.

2010 ANDERSON RANCHSCHOLARSHIP

Lisa Houck

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop at Anderson Ranch ArtsCenter this summer in Snowmass Village, Colorado. On and Offthe Press: Japanese Woodcut with Hiroki Morinoue took place duringthe week of August 16 to 20. Hiroki, who lives in Holualoa on theIsland of Hawaii, received his BFA degree from the CaliforniaCollege of Arts and Crafts in 1973. Traveling to Japan in 1976 and1982, he studied sumi brush painting under Koh Ito Sensei andwoodblock under Takashi Okubo Sensei. He and his wife run aworkshop and studio in Hawaii called Donkey Mill Art Center(www.donkeymillartcenter) where they teach classes and work withvisiting artists.

In this workshop, Hiroki used drypoint on Plexiglas to create thefine lines in the print that are traditionally carved into a cherrywoodblock. I chose to skip this step since I have extensiveexperience in printing drypoints and etchings and I wanted tospend my time carving woodblocks and learning to register themusing traditional kento marks carved into the blocks. I made asmall edition of a print with six colors, and this was something newand exciting for me. I learned how to work with color gradationscalled Bokashi. We used watercolors mixed with a rice starch pastecalled nori, and these colors were applied to the block with squarebrushes that rub the ink into the entire block. I found this processfascinating since I have been working with watercolor for manyyears and for me it provides the perfect combination of printingand painting.

Thank you to the Boston Printmakers for sponsoring my program.Thank you to Anderson Ranch Arts Center for the PresidentialScholarship that covered my tuition. You can view the prints madein this workshop at:http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1543770

Boston University Eventsduring the Biennial

808 Gallery Boston UniversityFebruary 8 – March 27, 2011South Africa: Artists, Prints, Community/Twenty Five Years at TheCaversham Press is a comprehensive survey of work from theprintmaking studio and artist residency The Caversham Presslocated in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The exhibition willfeature over 120 prints as well as artist books and community-based projects produced at Caversham by a diverse roster of SouthAfrican and international artists. Founded in 1985 during theturbulent years of apartheid, the Caverhsam Press has occupied animportant place in the development of South African printmaking.From the early years in which Caversham worked almostexclusively with formally trained white artists, such as WilliamKentridge, to its current focus on training young black artists,Caversham’s history reflects the dramatic political and culturalshifts that have occurred in South Africa over the past two and halfdecades.

Boston University Art Gallery Three Artists at The Caversham Press - Deborah Bell, Robert Hodginsand William KentridgeFebruary 8 – March 27, 2011The three South African artists were integral to the founding yearsof Caversham and together created three collaborative printportfolios—“Hogarth in Johannesburg,” “Little Morals,” and“Ubu Tells the Truth”—as well as many individual prints atCaversham between 1985 and 1992. Comprising over 65 prints,the three politically charged portfolios and selections of individualprints not only reflect Caversham’s early history but also articulatethe artists’ personal perspectives of living and working in SouthAfrica during the turbulent years between late apartheid and thetransition to a new democracy. In conjunction with the exhibition,William Kentridge will give an artist lecture on February 28th inMorse Auditorium.

Howard Zinn wrote the forward and the book is nowavailable through its publisher http://www.chartaartbooks.it/ Earlyin 2011, the book will be released in the USA.

Quotes from the book jacket:

If the role of art is to join beauty to a deep caring for people in trouble,for a world in trouble, if it is to transcend the artificial boundaries thatkeep us apart, if it is to join us in solidarity with other sentient beingsand with the natural world, then Eleanor Rubin fulfills the mostprofound responsibilities of the artist. Howard Zinn

Eleanor Rubin was born in 1940 in Hollywood, CA.A printmaker and watercolor artist, her human rights posters werepublished in the 1970s and 1980s by Human Policy Press and SyracuseCultural Workers. Over the years, she has collaborated with poets andresearch scientists, and her stunning images have been selected as coverart for many publications. Rubin is an avid amateur cellist whoseartwork is influenced by music, particularly the works of Hikari Oe.The qualities of narrative and protest in her work are indebted tocourageous artists including Tomiyama Taeko (b. 1921), Nancy Spero(1926–2009), and Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943).
