Join us for the second Approaching Zero artist talk with Miguel A. Aragn and Walter Jule on Friday, March 28, 2pm
Approaching Zero - At the Frontier of Contemporary Printmaking features work by Miguel A. Aragn (Mexico/USA), Stella Ebner (NY, USA), Zarina Hashmi (India/USA), Walter Jule (Canada), Kouseki Ono (Japan), and Katsutoshi Yuasa (Japan). Delving into the medium of printmaking, this exhibition investigates artists who incorporate various systematic printmaking methods while pushing the boundaries of print-based work. These artists all share a common strategy or characteristic: they master a particular printmaking technique as a foundation and then go to the very limits of their own system. Despite their machine-like systematic labor, we see unique distortions and textures created by the human hand.
Miguel A. Aragn creates a series of laser-cut burnt residue embossed prints based on newspaper photographs of murders occurring in Ciudad Jurez, Mexico, a primary battleground in the violent war between rival cartels for control of the drug trade into the U.S. By only using the burned pigment as the source of his mark-making he draws the connection between the medium\s lack of ink and absence of life, and plays with the idea that those events are burned into the consciousness of the entire city. Aragn was born and raised in Ciudad Jurez, Mxico. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in venues such as the International Print Center New York, Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco CA, OSDE Espacio de Arte in Argentina, Austin Museum of Art, Mexic-Arte Museum, and more. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Printmaking at the College of Staten Island NY.
Walter Jule\s work examines notions of transience, unseen forces and the universal law of cause and effect. Influenced by his decade-long meditation practice, Jule invites viewers to explore his surrealistic image created by his integration of photography and printmaking techniques. Combining discipline, technical skills and spontaneity, his work presents breakdown of sequential time, concentrated into the present moment. Jule is a Professor Emeritus of University of Alberta, Canada. Jule has taught and lectured widely. His exhibitions includes: SKIN, Walter Jule, Selected Works, 1968-2008, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon; The Nickel Arts Museum, University of Calgary, Alberta; Fine Arts Building Gallery, University of Alberta, Edmonton; Schneider Museum of Art, Southern Oregon University, Oregon; Municipal Museum of Art, Gyor, Hungary, and many more.
This event is free of charge and open to the public.
The Approaching Zero exhibition is generously supported with a grant from The Japan Foundation.
