Jebus I've been busy.

I express my regret for ignoring this blog. I've been so. damn. busy. and writing here (IE. for free) on top of writing full time (IE. for $$$) hasn't been an option. (ps. printeresting isn't for $$$. Just to be clear, I do it for the love.)

Some interesting things:
Daumier in Alabama
Bresdin and Redon, Europe at Mid-Century: Dubuffet, Giacometti, Picasso, and Passion and Precision in the Age of Revolution at the MFA Boston.
and Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Ursula von Rydingsvard and Kiki Smith at Bab's gallery in Boston.
Cartographies of Time at Princeton. (Writing about this for Printeresting)
Window on the War and Belligerent Encounters at the Art Institute of Chicago. (Writing about these for Printeresting)
Text as Inspiration and The Bauhaus in Print at the National Gallery.

Also, Printeresting is editing the journal The California Printmaker. I have a fabulous and crazy conversation with Whitney Trettien about a lot of things (edit vs. curate, how to stumble upon things, how books aren't books anymore, etc).

Did I mention the kid on the way too? Yeah, things are busy. Plus I'm writing for Artwrit and a to-be-announced regular column on painting... of all things for me to write about!

But I still heart my 3 nerdy print readers.

It's 2011?

Good lord! There aren't movies made about dates after 2010, so we must live in the future. (except 2012, which I refuse to accept as a movie at all. Good lord...)

Donald Kelley in Boston.
Brice Marden at the Danforth.
Rhoda Rosenberg also at the Danforth.
Fresh Ink at the MFA Boston. (Feel free to click on the picture, it's a detail of a work by Xu Bing. He made a print out of a traditional painted scroll.)

Evolution: Five Decades of Printmaking by David Driskell, Part 1 at the Wadsworth Atheneum.
Durer at the Clark.
Marian O'Connell at the Newport Art Museum.
Goya's Bull Fight series is at the Worcester Art Museum.
Turning the Page, the Evolution of Artists' Book is at Wheaton College.
Prints for the Japanese New Year is at RISD.
Artists Abroad at the MFA Boston. I'm reviewing the new wing for Arts Fuse. Look for that in Feb. Good lord they have up 4 of Mary Cassatt's full color prints. Dreamy. I promise photos of this show.

Last, 4th estate at Wild Project.

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.

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!
