Alberta Printmakers

The Light of Day
2007-05-07 - 2007-06-08
About the Exhibition
All printmakers are familiar with the tradition of the Print Portfolio Exchange, those collections of works that represent the best of what’s unique to the medium; a democratic sharing of visual images, an ability to amass a wealth of original art, and in a world full of “stuff” – a rational motive to create multiples. The resulting portfolios represent a special gift shared amongst colleagues, lovingly crafted and showcasing diversity of media and approach.
The unfortunate truth of this, of course, is that often, all but the most favourite disappear into boxes that reside under beds, in drawers and cupboards and storage shelves, rarely again to see the light of day.
Guessing at this probable fate of my own contributions to portfolios over the years, this exhibition is a selection of prints from the last dozen years, primarily from exchanges, with a couple extras thrown in. Sometimes themed, sometimes not, these prints are really a series of “one-offs” outside my regular body of work; a chance to respond to external content criteria, to explore silly ideas, to riff on past work or poke at friends. They represent my eclectic visual interests and love of printmaking.

III Communication
2007-03-15 - 2007-04-28
About the Exhibition
On April 21, 2007 Artist Proof Gallery will be holding a closing reception for Mikhail Miller’Lajeunesse’s exhibition titled III Communication. The installation by this emerging artist presents a contrast between brightly silk-screened wood “speech-bubbles” and grotesque humanoid wood-cut prints on paper. The work displays the congruence and elasticity of communication that we face on a day to day basis. In conjunction with Lajeunesse’s reception, A/P will also hold a T-Shirt Fundraiser. The trendy T’s are hand screened, one of a kind works of art produced by Mikhail, Lindsay Everatt and Darcy Obokata. Many thanks to Sosa Original Clothing for sponsoring the shirts and ink used for this fundraiser.

About the Exhibition
Interconnections, will be shown at San Chun Gallery, this July. It is a collaboration between A/P, SNAP of Edmonton, and a group of Japanese printmakers. It’s designed in two parts; a juried show of limited size prints, open to all members of the group and an invited artists show, limited to 7 printmakers from each group.
We are especially indebted to Christina Nalder, who spent many hours working with Koichi Kiyono, artist in residence at U-of-C, who conceived the show. Also thanks to the large crew, which included families of members, who helped with the cheap but labour intensive installation of over 100 prints. We also owe a lot to Mee Yun and Ryan, of San Chun Gallery.

Exchange
1992-07-30 - 1992-08-30
About the Exhibition
A/P has organized an exchange show with the Northwest Print Council (NWPC), a not-for-profit group operating out of Portland, Oregon. A/P’s exhibition is held in the Salem Art Association, Bush Barn Art Center. In return, the NWPC prints will be displayed at the Lethbridge Public Library Theatre Gallery.
This is our first out-of-Canada exhibition! On display are 47 prints by 27 A/P members. The exhibition is apart of an exchange exhibition with the Northwest Print Council of Portland. It was proposed in early 1990, and has taken now to accomplish. In 1990 we sent a handful of slides to Salem, so that they could see the mind of work being produced in Alberta. Early in 1992 we made a cross Canada call for entries and received slides from Halifax, Toronto, Newfoundland, and even Edmonton. One hundred and forty slides were received in all. They were compiled and sent to the NWPC for their consideration, and finally to Salem where the final choices were made. A/P was notified immediately after that and the slides were returned.
Once we knew which pieces were chosen, we shipped them off, 150 lbs. in all. Thanks to Burlington Express for whisking them through customs without delay!
The exhibition itself is a good mix of mediums; from Ken Webb’s rich and sharp edged Totem intaglios, to the subtle and enigmatic printed characters on the lino prints by Andy Butler. There is also a good range of sizes, from 12 inches to almost 4 feet.
Artists included in the exhibition:
Kate Baillies, Carole Bondaroff, Malcolm Brekkie, Yael Brotman, Andy Butler, Carl Danker, Karen Dugas, Gwen K. Frank, Steve Gouthro, Vivian Herman, Liz Ingram, Todd Johnson, Walter Jule, Bill Laing, Judith Leidl, Helen Mackie, Mary Jo Major, Wilek Markiewicz, Nick Mejer Drees, Jim Odell, Lucille Pilutik, Wendy Smith, Dana Shukster, Ken Webb, Joan Wieser, Robin Yager
