At the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Gary Lichtenstein 35 Years of Screenprinting.
Heading off to Philly this weekend. I hope to see the Theatrum Pictorium cuz I'm a nerd!
Took some photos at the Boston MFA tonight and will try to put them up soon. May have to be put off till early next week whence I'll finish off MAPC junk, post Philly stuff, maybe the M.C. Escher show if I get to it tomorrow, and of course, the MFA stuff.

Some more info
Visionary Realists at UNC
At the Heart of Progress which is traveling Oct 19, 2010 to Jan 23, 2011: Palmer Museum of Art, Pennsylvania State U.
I have it on good authority that Trenton Doyle Hancock has some etchings up at the Studio Museum in Harlem. And depending on how anti-photo you are, Harlem Postcards is a series of multiples that deserves attention.
At SCAD there is Chakaia Booker Exhibition: Sustain with some photogravures. Fuel to the Fire: The Poster Design of Methane Studios on the hand made poster side of things.
At VCU is Imaging South Africa: Collection Projects by Siemon Allen, which has quite a bit of digital prints, newspaper, and vinyl records. Again, depending on how vehement you are for traditions-- This is filled with printed matter to me.
Last, MOCA GA Collects: Art on Paper, Came down recently. It had lithos from Trena Banks, Michael Ellison, Stefanie Jackson, Wadsworth Jarrell, John T. Riddle, Kevin Sipp, Larry Walker and a silk screen from Lev Mills.

More Oct shows
I forget to mention three bigger shows that I know about: Piranesi as Designer at Cooper-Hewitt in Ny. The NYT reviewed it too.
Also in NY is Pace Prints 50th anniversary. Which may be down as of this week, so it's too late, but they are definitely worth the mention. Their website says that they have up New Editions: Ingrid Calame, Tara Donovan, Robert Mangold, Robert Ryman and Dan Walsh and Louise Nevelson: Prints and Multiples 1953-1983.
Last and friggin not least, is William Kentridge at MassArt. He is getting quite a bit of play in the last few years. Tonight is the PBS premier of Anything is Possible. So go see them if you can and check your locally supported by viewer like you, PBS listings.

MAPC, you had so much stuff.
So, just a little more than a year ago, the Boston MFA lost a great staff member to Minneapolis Institute of Art: Tom Rassieur. But during MAPC it was great to get to see the print room at MIA as Tom was running things and graciously pulling out almost anything from MIA's great collection.
He also juried the MAPC group show which included Stefanie Dykes' Placing and Replacing. An excellent art work and worthy of the first prize.

MFA's in the 2000's
(Heather O'Hara's Patterns of Violence)
One of the panels at MAPC was about recent MFAs and their struggles after getting that terminal degree. There was also an exhibition of the same subject put together by Stephanie Hunder that was pretty excellent, and may have been my favorite part of that evening's bus ride.
(Carrie Lingscheit's Momento No. 5192 (Hang)
Artists: Kjel Alkire, Tonia Bonnell, Nick Conbere, James Ehlers, Carrie Lingscheit, Deb Oden, Heather O'Hara, Travis Janssen, Johanna Mueller, Joanne Price, Kathy Puzey, Jason Scuilla, Justin Strom, Satan's Camaro, Joseph Velasquez, and Melinda Yale.

More from Highpoint Press
Carlos Amorales had work up at Highpoint. These solid and blocks of color are made of randomly arranged metal and plastic blocks that are surface rolled.
(Yes the lights were still being put up. Did I mention all of the people who work there were really great? They were.)
One of the other things I found interesting was the Julie Mehretu flipbook that printer, director, and generally good guy Cole Rogers showed us. It's the entire print broken down into layers printed onto duralar or whatever acetate they use in the shop. With such a layered print, it was good to see the entire thing broken down into each moment.

MAPC Minneapolis
This is just a quick post to let y'all know about one awesome thing I saw already at MAPC. At Highpoint press I saw Dodgeball by Rob Fischer.
Now normally, this isn't news, no matter how cool that print is. But seeing the matrix that they printed the intaglio from is.
That white line across the matrix is the back of the larger sized silkscreen press at Highpoint.
More to come as time permits!

Stuff to know about-- October 2010 edition
First, the MAPC conference starts tomorrow and I haven't packed yet. Say hello if you are going to be there.
The National Gallery of Art has Edvard Munch: Master Prints From July 31–November 28, 2010 Get to it soon!
One more week of Emerging Images: The Creative Process in Prints at IPCNY. New Prints Autumn is October 21 - November 20, 2010. Last, the call for New Prints Winter (PDF) is out now, Due Nov 9.
Print Center in Philly has One of Us: Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Dear Tree Hugger... : Andrew Kozlowski, and Pulling from History: Letterpress up currently.
The Met in NY has Man, Myth, and Sensual Pleasures: Jan Gossart's Renaissance. I haven't seen this yet, but plan to during the print fairs in Nov.
I saw a single print at the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition at the Asia Society last week. Pretty good show. I know his work pretty well, and it's a best of more than a redefinition of his work.
Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913-1917 just came down at the MoMA. It had quite a few monoprints and drypoints. MoMA also have up Robert Rauschenberg’s Currents (1970) and Huma Bhabha’s Reconstructions (2007) through May 2011. But slightly off topic, the New Photography show is the most interesting contemporary work up right now with Kalup Linzy's video titled Lollypop (2006) being a close second.
The Whitney has a Charles Burchfield show with a reproduction of his wallpaper and a few original samples. It's a great show that I highly recommend. Barbara Krueger has an outdoor installation at 820 Washington st.
MFA Boston has their regularly scheduled New Works show up through May 2011. The Christiane Baumgartner prints are pretty choice.
Art Institute of Chicago has a show about kids books and Emerging Japanese Print Artists of the 1960s, 70s, and Beyond.
Portland Museum in Maine has Anna Hepler's cyanotypes and an huge friggin installation on two floors.
I certainly hope LACMA has some prints from Thomas Eakins in the current exhibition.
Americanana at Hunter College has a John's Double Flag and an excellent limited edition fold-out broadside catalog (pdf). It's a great little show.
Philadelphia Museum has Theatrum Pictorium, which is a nerdy little thing: the first illustrated printed catalog of an art collection. Also, Yokohama Prints, 1859-1870 and Revisiting the Centennial: Resources from the Library and Archives which has a ton of printed ephemera.
Barbara Krakow has Julian Opie starting the 23rd.
New Britain Museum has M.C. Escher: Impossible Reality.
Wadsworth Atheneum has American Moderns on Paper Through January.
Klaus von Nichtssagend has up Leafless: Glen Baldridge Benjamin Butler. Glen is a great printer and part of 4th Estate.
In the upcoming important stuff I don't want to forget about category is Goya at the Worcester Museum.
Last, and not least, The Museum of Printing has up Anna Hogan. Who I know not a lick about.
If you know of anything else, let me know!

Hello World!
This is a new blog devoted to documenting news about exhibitions containing prints. The blog will cover anything from one minor print by a new artist to a major retrospective for a household name.
If you would like to send info to me/us or help out with posting and/or provide pictures from shows you've seen/been in/put together, feel free to email me at mr.pyper (at) gmail.
A little about me. I've been creating fine art prints for over a decade. Mostly intaglio, relief, and silkscreen. I've worked for the Boston Printmakers when I was at the SMFA, Boston. Been active with both Southern Graphics and the Mid-America Print Council-- including putting together 3 portfolios for SGC and 1 for MAPC. I was the first Master Printer at Shepherd Print Studio in Cambridge MA and was the Tutor/Master Printer at the letterpress studio the Bow & Arrow Press of Adams House, Harvard.
All that aside, I like seeing work and hope that this type of enterprise will create a document that will show the depth of prints being made in our era. Maybe a historical document, maybe a celebration of stuff we saw while out in the gallery/museum/alternative art spaces.
Get in touch and let people know about this blog please!
