365 Days of Print at Dumbo Arts Festival and NJCU

Press Release:

365 Days of Print is pleased to announce 365 Days of Print: An Exhibition of Artists Mining Media. Comprised of works by over forty artists from the online project of the same name, the exhibition catalogues the struggle and challenge to process, respond to and engage with the evolving media landscape, its images and content.  Artists have used audio, collage, photography, embroidery, and sculpture to comment on and critique press coverage of every major event – from protests in Tunisia and Egypt to the debt ceiling debate, from the Fukushima disaster to the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

Since January 2011, 365 Days of Print has invited small groups of artists for one-month residencies to create work sourcing newspapers and various media outlets. Working under the same deadlines as journalists, artists created work every day that engaged and commented not only on the information and events covered by The New York Times and other newspapers, but on the medium itself and such concepts as bias, objectivity, sexism, consumerism and conflict of interest.

Organized by artists and curators Kenneth Pietrobono and Doris Caçoilo, the exhibition will feature over 120 works and will be installed at both the Dumbo Arts Festival and The Visual Arts Gallery at New Jersey City University. Using a loose chronological format, the exhibit will illustrate news events as they occurred, allowing pieces to engage in a visual dialogue of shared experience. In keeping with the pace of the media cycle, space will be left available for future works by contributing artists throughout the run of the exhibition.

Created by Maya Joseph-Goteiner, 365 Days of Print continues to enlist artists to make new work through 2011.

Sept. 23-25, 2011, Dumbo Arts Festival, 81 Front Street, Brooklyn, NY

Opening Friday, Sept. 23, 6-9 PM

Oct. 1-27, 2011, The Visual Arts Gallery, New Jersey City University, 100 Culver Avenue, Jersey City, NJ

Opening Saturday, Oct. 1, 5-8 PM

“In Black and White” at Artspace in Raleigh

365 Days of Print, March 2011

In Black and White, an exhibition of black and white prints, opens at Artspace in Raleigh tomorrow. The thirty one 4″ x 4″ woodcuts I created as a guest artists at 365daysofprint.com this past March are installed as a calendar-like grid. Each image is a reaction to a particular headline or story in the corresponding day’s New York Times.

About 365 Days of Print:

a blog with the ultimate goal to remix the newspaper, to engage and create dialogue within all media of art regarding the news, literacy, and the experience of reading the paper. Over the course of 2011, 100+ artists will use the newspaper as fodder to illustrate, sew, draw, paint, sculpt, photograph…

Here’s a proof of a piece I’m doing for a print exchange and exhibition coming up this summer. It’s part of my ongoing series of “unfortunate fighters that just can’t seem to win” woodcuts.

365 Days of Print – Daily Woodcut (!)

We’ve all heard about the struggles of the newspaper industry as information continues to become more and more digitized. For the month of March, I’m a guest artist on 365daysofprint.com, a blog that celebrate news in print by inviting guest artists to produce and post a work of art in reaction to each day’s stories for the month. The approaches that artists take vary widely. Personally, I scan the New York Times, read the few articles that jump out at me, then create a simple composition that relates to the story. The relationship is sometimes fairly straight forward, other times I arrive at the image through a few stages of association. I’m interested in how someone sitting in, say, Charlotte, NC can uses his experiences and reference points to imagine and make sense of, say, a gun battle at the palace in Congo.

I’m attempting a woodcut a day. At the end of the month I’ll assemble a single piece to represent all of March 2011.

Here is yesterday’s:
