International Print Center New York presents NEW PRINTS 2008/Summer: Artists' Commentary in its gallery at 526 West 26th Street, Room 824, in Chelsea. On view from June 26th until August 1st, 2008, the show consists of forty-seven works by forty-two emerging to established artists, selected from a pool of approximately 800 submissions.

NEW PRINTS 2008/Summer: Artists' Commentary is the twenty-eighth presentation of IPCNY's New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions highlighting contemporary prints made within the past year by artists at all stages of their careers. The exhibition represents a cross-section of some of the most exceptional printmaking today while continuing IPCNY's commitment to provide an ongoing exhibition venue for contemporary prints and a major source of information about artists working in the medium.

For this presentation, IPCNY invited submissions loosely grouped around the theme of artists' responses to the current social and political climate. Highlights include: Pterrorists (archetype feathorrorae), handmade paper grenades with silkscreen and hand-colored portraits by Ronna Lebo; an untitled photogravure etching by Glenn Ligon of a neon sign reading “negro sunshine”; Cheney's Camouflage, a lithograph portrait of Vice President Cheney on an empty french fries container by Eileen M. Foti; a silkscreened box containing a print by Catherine LeCleire entitled A Home For Palestine, and EV [e-ve] III. History, pages from an Estonian history book by Eve Kask digitally printed to remove every letter but E and V from the text.

The complete artists' list for NEW PRINTS 2008/Summer: Artists' Commentary is as follows: Desirée Alvarez, Katie Baldwin, Kim Baranowski, Michael Barnes, Stephen Barnwell, Judy Bergman Hochberg, Randy Bolton, Liz Chalfin, Anne Chestnut, Leo Cunningham, Tallmadge Doyle, Eileen M. Foti, Leslie Golomb, Deborah Grant, Daniel Hauben, Sarah Hauser, Emily Henretta, Robin Holder, Cooper Holoweski, William Howard, Butt Johnson, Eve Kask, Michael Krueger, Ronna Lebo, Catherine LeCleire, Yvonne Leonard, Marc Lepson, Glenn Ligon, Joseph A. Lupo, Franco Marinai, Martin Mazorra, Traci Molloy, Nicholas Naughton, Leah Oates, Shani Peters, Sarah Nicole Phillips, Ross Racine, Christopher Rivera, Blake Sanders, Jonathan Thomas, Jeff Wetzig, Dan Wood, and Sang-Mi Yoo.

An essay by Robin White Owen will accompany the exhibition.

NEW PRINTS 2008/Summer: Artists' Commentary includes the work of forty-two artists from across the country and Puerto Rico, thirty-six of whom work independently. Other countries represented are Estonia and Scotland. Publishers, presses, and galleries represented include: Brodsky Center, New Brunswick, NJ; Burnet Editions, CRG Editions, Lower East Side Printshop, and Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, all in New York City, NY; and Tiny Showcase, Providence, RI.

With rare exceptions, prints included in IPCNY's New Prints shows are for sale. IPCNY refers potential purchasers directly to the artist, publisher, or gallery supplying the print. IPCNY requires no commission on sales.

The New Prints Program is the core of IPCNY's exhibition programming. New Prints 2000 launched the program in September 2000. To date, these twenty-eight exhibitions have included work from nearly 1,000 artists and 200 presses across the country and abroad.

International Print Center New York is a non-profit institution founded to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print worldwide. Through innovative programming, it fosters a climate for the enjoyment, examination and serious study of artists' prints - from the old master to the contemporary. IPCNY offers its members a program of workshop and gallery visits, and has established an informational website and Information Desk available to the public at the gallery. IPCNY depends upon public and private donations to support its programs.

The New Prints Program is funded in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Generous funding is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and The Greenwall Foundation. A grant from the Robert Lehman Foundation supports IPCNY's exhibitions programs.

Cole Gerst | July 2, 2008 | JtB

We're fresh out of Cole Gersts. Sorry guys. His work was just too good to last. I would highly recommend swinging by his portfolio site or his blog for a glimpse at more of his work. He's got plenty for sale for those of you who are itching to get your hands on some of is work.



Nucleated Floor | July 1, 2008 | JtB

Hey! Happy Canada Day! We were sending our Canadian counterparts celebratory emails when we realized that this means Tiny Showcase gets a day off this week as well! Yeah!

We're counting down the hours until our Friday time off but until then, we've got some artwork to debut tonight. The weekly preview email is juuust about to head out the door (if you aren't on the list, I would recommend signing up).


CAT FOUND!!!



Ink Ape: Tuff Luv | June 27, 2008 | JtB

All the Friday ramblings in the world couldn't rival the brilliance of today's Ink Ape update. Enjoy and have a tippity-top notch weekend!

Summer Seasonal 2008 | June 25, 2008 | JtB

Our first Summer Seasonal collection. It feels bright and relaxed to me. Camping expeditions, trips to the beach, clamcake shacks, foggy nights where you can hear the lighthouse in the distance. OK. Maybe that's a little isolating for those of you who didn't grow up in New England - I'll let you conjure up your own Summer memories. But, you know, regardless of your relationship to a North Atlantic coastline, I think there's some lovely work in there.

For more by the Summer 2008 contributors, you can visit the portfolio sites of Andrew Holder, Ryan McLennan, Julie Morstad, and Amy Ruppel.


Before I go back to work-work-working, a few items to brighten your day:

Exhibit A: I'm posting this in hopes that Nike will send me a free pair of Hyperdunks. I haven't worn Nikes since I was in high school. And half of my friends work for rival shoe companies. But W+K's ad campaign seriously cracks me up and who can deny a shoe with the word hyper in its title??

Link numero zwei: The always-terrific Book By Its Cover takes a look at Ermanno Cristini and Luigi Puricelli's In the Pond.


And finally:



Chimichurri | June 24, 2008 | JtB

I am a bit shocked at the amount of time we have spent discussing hot dogs over the past few days. Literally every conversation I have been involved in since Friday has turned to the subject. We had two semi-serious Tiny Showcase meetings yesterday with people who we have not seen in weeks and both of them started off the discussion by asking us "How about those hot dogs!" I feel like I'm trapped in some sort of alternate Hebrew National and Tofu Pup-ruled universe and I love it.

We asked the mailing list members to send in their favorite recipes with the promise of an amazing prize for the greatest entry. It should be noted that we received hundreds of different recipes, all of them fairly amazing. Oddly enough, the most commonly emailed hot dog topping was peanut butter, which sort of made my head spin. My immediate reaction was "that sounds less appetizing than a Warren Zevon dance remix." But I have not tried it and I shall not knock it. I'll report back on that one in a week.

So onto the topic of the best hot dog recipe we received on Friday that we had not yet thought of. We picked two because Shea'la and I have widely varying tastes. Unfortunately, since it was my birthday, Shea'la's pick qualifies as the second-place prize. She picked the Coleslaw, French Fries, Banana Peppers, and Provolone dog, a recipe borrowed from Primanti Brother's Sandwich Shop in Pittsburgh (if I lived in Pittsburgh I would have been crippled by heart disease decades ago). I went for the Cuban-style hot dog, complete with chimichurri sauce and a fried egg on top. I suspect that this hot dog might qualify as farther South American than Cuban but it sounds unbelievably delicious and unhealthy to me so I'm really not going to complain. We'll be emailing the winners shortly.

For those of you who didn't win, we'll be compiling a list of runners-up shortly. There are a lot of you. Like, enough to comprise an entire hot dogs recipe book. Note to self: publish a hot dog recipe book.



Hot Dogs! | June 23, 2008 | JtB

Woah. Who knew there were so many hot dog recipes out there!? Thanks to everyone on the mailing list who sent out birthday wishes and delicious party recipes. Due to an overwhelming response, we're still battling over which is our favorite ingredient. We'll probably announce the winner tomorrow.

We will also have some new artwork for you tomorrow! If you aren't on the mailing list, why don't you sign on up? We'll be sending out a sneak peak sometime in the late-ish afternoon.
