Rebellious Integration

April 25, 2009

A portfolio exhibition curated by Megan Sterling and Katarzyna Cepek

Rebellious Integration toys with the contradiction of a printmaker's continuing subsistence in contemporary art culture and the mores of our society. Although many printmakers work to integrate themselves into the social ranks-- working mainstream jobs, teaching in academia, etc.-- we at the same time continually find ways to be subversive, to challenge the rubric of each institution that we labor so hard to pervade. Participants were asked to rebelliously integrate themselves into this exchange- that is, there were specifications that had to be followed, ie size, edition size, etc., but were then encouraged to rebel in any creative way they liked, be it in their subject matter, mediums, three-dimensionality, shape, materials used, etc.

19th Annual International Small Print Show and Holiday Open House

December 6, 2008

The Grand Opening Party was held Saturday and Sunday, December 6-7, 2008, and featured the work of over 70 artists from all over the world, including our very own CPC printmakers. The turnout was pretty fabulous for being in a recession, but the affordability of the work and the tendency for people to seek unique and handmade items for their loved ones during the holidays made for a very successful show. Artist-made books and cards and t-shirts also flew off the tables, along with the very yummy food tidbits and hot cider. NEW this year was our first ever CPC Small Print Show BLOG. Check it out!

Small Prints. Smaller prices. Great party snacks. Huge Fun. Gigantic affordability. Generous hot cider. Gargantuan Art.
