Welcome from Conference Chairs: Jessica Meuninck-Ganger and Rina YoonWelcome to Print:MKE! As your conference organizers, we’ve been planning and working together to make this year’s conference the best experience in SGCI history! We hope you take the time to attend the many lectures and presentations, participate in the demos, browse the publishers and product fair, explore the city’s galleries, share your portfolio, make new friends, catch up with your colleagues, and, of course, spend some time enjoying Milwaukee’s fabulous food and spirits. Be sure to take advantage of our free shuttle and travel to both host campuses. The prints you’ll find on exhibition here are lush, gorgeous and engaging. The dialogue you’ll find here is varied and deep. Print:MKE 2013 is a moment of collaboration and gathering, a time and place for sharing ideas and diving deeper into the need to create and communicate. We are, together, a community of makers. We hope that your time in Milwaukee is thoughtful and fun!

A hundred thousand welcomes: I could weep, And I could laugh; I am light, and heavy: Welcome.

—William Shakespeare

Make Way! Welcome to Milwaukee! Makes sense. It is only fitting that this year’s conference has the theme of “make” at its heart. Print:MKE celebrates the maker, affirming the value of the object, the authority of artworks afforded by skillful craft and especially that part of the creative process that embraces and values haptic knowledge—discovery through the hands—and the understanding that comes only through the act of making.

Make no mistake; the wonderful conference you are taking part in was made possible by the extraordinary labors of the Milwaukee planning committee. I want to especially thank Rina Yoon and Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, planning committee co-chairs for this 2013 conference. In the works for almost three years, this gathering certainly did not materialize out of thin air. Its success is directly linked to their vision, hard work and, at times, their capacity to make virtue out of necessity. I am sure this conference has made honest women of them both.

Make out like a bandit. Woo hoo! Take a quick look at the conference schedule, and you can see that it is packed with events of all sorts: exciting lectures, thought-provoking panels, virtuoso demos, gold-star exhibitions and a merrymaking social calendar. I would like to thank all of our speakers, panelists, exhibitors, vendors and publishers. Your expertise and talents are truly what make this rich selection of activities possible.

Made of gold. I would also like to acknowledge all of our esteemed guest artists, speakers and award winners: Alison Saar, Lesley Dill, Judith Solodkin, Margo Humphrey, Frances Myers, John Risseeuw, La Ceiba Gráfica, Lori Bauman and Steve Vande Zande of Redline Milwaukee, David Jones, Russell Jankowski and Cissie Peltz. I hope you will all make plans to join me in remembering Roger Steele, one of the founders of SGCI, who passed away last summer. We’ll be sharing some remembrances during our Saturday banquet and, fittingly, The Fine Arts Gallery is generously hosting an exhibition of some of Roger’s valentine prints. We love ya, Roger.

Make my day. It really is all about you, my fellow SGCI members. Whether you are a lifer or a first-time attendee, I am sure you will find that this conference is ultimately about the camaraderie and rich exchange of print awesomeness that comes from our three days together. Thank you for being a part of the ongoing tradition of sharing that makes this organization so exceptional.

Print:MKE! A conference made to order. Here’s to your pleasure as you make the rounds.

Greetings and welcome to Milwaukee and the 2013 SGCI Conference. We’re glad you’re here. This year’s conference, Print:MKE, is the result of a collaboration between two of this city’s premier learning institutions: the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

MIAD educates its 700 students for well-rounded lives driven by a passion to inspire, problem solve and innovate for our economy and society.

A hotbed of novel thinkers since 1974, the college has formed an unmatched intimate learning community in which students develop their visual voice while learning the technical skills, conceptual awareness and professional contexts necessary to fully realize their creativity. Renowned faculty comes together with staff, trustees and hundreds of communal and business partners to elevate and support students’ knowledge and skills while engaging them in shaping the environment in which they learn.

In addition to their deep ties to the professional community, students take 1/3 of their credits in Liberal Studies, and forge lasting connections to the general community through the college’s award-winning Service Learning Program.

We hope you’ll join us on Friday and Saturday to explore the college – the state’s only independent, four-year college of art and design – view the prints in our galleries and participate in our demonstrations and workshops. You’ll see that our walls are pulsing with art and design works by MIAD students from around country.

We also know you’ll enjoy Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, where MIAD is located. With its numerous design firms and galleries, many with ties to MIAD alumni, the Historic Third Ward was recently named one of America’s Top Twelve ArtPlaces for 2013.

Have a terrific conference!

Neil HoffmanPresident, MIAD

On behalf of the nearly 2,000 students and more than 250 faculty and staff of the UWM Peck School of the Arts, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Milwaukee for the 2013 SGC International Conference. Especially since this is the Year of the Arts at UWM, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Peck School, we are delighted to be a partner with your prestigious organization and are confident that you will be impressed with Milwaukee’s cultural richness.

The Peck School of the Arts is the most prolific arts provider in Wisconsin, offering more than 350 art exhibitions; dance, music and theatre performances; and film screenings each year. Our faculty and students benefit from UWM’s urban setting, which provides comprehensive opportunities to learn outside the classroom through the school’s extensive partnerships with professional arts organizations and businesses, ranging from the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Danceworks, the Milwaukee Film Festival and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra to countless local graphic design and marketing firms. I hope you will take the opportunity to visit the wide array of events and exhibits scheduled at the UWM Peck School of the Arts, Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the eclectic mix of galleries and venues throughout the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

We look forward to the many artistic, academic and intellectual offerings the SGCI Conference brings to our community and hope to keep the dialogue you bring to us going well into the future. I am confident that your collective research and presentations will be an inspiration for us all!

La Ceiba GráficaKEYNOTE SPEAKER

Thursday, March 21, 4:15–5:30 p.m.UWM PSOA, Zelazo 220 (Concert Hall)

La Ceiba Gráfica is a nonprofit studio and residency program founded by the association Artistas Veracruzanos Bajo La Ceiba, headed by Per Anderson and Martin Vinaver. It’s located in a small town in the state of Veracruz called Coatepec, located four hours east of Mexico City and two hours from Veracruz City. This residency and print studio is housed in the old Hacienda of La Orduña. Dating back as early as the 16th century, it once existed as a headquarters to the processing of sugarcane and coffee. After many years of being abandoned, a proposal to the government led to the granting of the hacienda to a project of creating an art center whose focus was primarily on graphic arts including lithography, intaglio, Moku Hanga Japanese woodcut, and papermaking.

John Risseeuw

HONORARY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AWARD

John Risseeuw is professor of art at Arizona State University, where he has taught papermaking, book arts and printmaking since 1980. He directs the Pyracantha Press, founded in 1982 as the book arts imprint of ASU; his own Cabbagehead Press was founded in 1972. His prints, books and collaborative works, many on handmade paper, have been exhibited and collected widely. The Library of Congress has purchased an archive of all of his works on paper and books.

Publications referencing his work include Elspeth Lamb’s Papermaking for Printmakers; Sarah Bodman’s Creating Artist’s Books and A Manifesto for the Book; Betty Bright’s No Longer Innocent; The Complete Printmaker, by Ross, Romano and Ross; and Thelma Newman’s Innovative Printmaking. He was founding president of the College Book Art Association and has served on the board of directors of Hand Papermaking magazine. For over four decades, his art has touched on political and social themes, including corruption, equal rights, environmental abuse, fascism, illegal wars, arms proliferation and sheer idiocy. Some works are prompted by more current fears, observations and anger, but all are executed in a journalistic sense: the artist as witness. Recent prints and a limited-edition book about landmines, victims and detritus of war were executed on paper made from the clothing of victims, plant fibers from the minefields and the shredded currency of nations that make the landmines. That project has generated more than $20,000 in fundraising for agencies that assist mine victims and work for mine clearance.

PRINT: COMMUNITY AND SUSTAINABILITY AWARD

La Ceiba Gráfica is located in the mountain town of Coatepe in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, and was founded in 2005 as a nonprofit studio and residency program by the association Artistas Veracruzanos Bajo. La Ceiba Gráfica strives to encourage the creation of art and to contribute to helping the public gain access to the arts and art making regardless of an individual’s economic situation. The residency and print studio is housed in the old Hacienda of La Orduña. Dating back as early as the 16th century, it once existed as a headquarters to the processing of sugarcane and coffee. After many years of being abandoned, a proposal to the government led to the granting of the hacienda to a project of creating an art center whose focus was primarily on graphic arts including lithography, intaglio, Moku Hanga Japanese woodcut, and papermaking.

“I Had a Blueprint of History,” A Case Study in Livere D’ Artiste Collaboration

Artist, Lesley Dill; poet, Tom Sleigh; papermaker, Paul Wong; printer, Peter Kruty; and publisher, Susan Gosin collaborated for five years to produce a limited-edition book in which the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Beginning with the search for the perfect text, the collaboration became a performance of peers as each contributor responded with distinctive ideas and skills to realize the artist’s concept. Dill worked directly with a master papermaker and printer to translate her 40 masterful images into an editioned book that retains the raw power of her original imagery as it gained in subtlety from the nuances of each process. Besides sharing their war stories and victories, panelists will share the playfulness of working as a team, the intimacy of creating and how the excitement of the experience evolves into a deep appreciation for each other’s gifts and friendship, which ultimately shows in the work itself. Susan Gosin will head the panel as she leads the collaborators in a method similar to a call and response, encouraging the players to engage with each other as a way to show rather than tell how collaboration works.

Is It Something in the Water? The Remarkable Proliferation of Wisconsin Printmakers

The invited presenters will celebrate Wisconsin’s printmaking by introducing the history and scope of Wisconsin-based printmakers to attendees from outside Wisconsin. They will discuss commonalities, themes and significant contributions to education and the field.

Community Support: A Roundtable Discussion

Printmaking is often referred to as “democratic,” that its role as an artistic process offers itself to a wider audience because of the dissemination of multiple copies. It seems in recent years young artists have been expanding this idea of printmaking through the establishment of community print studios, collaborative groups, community events and homespun project spaces that offer workshops, access to equipment, exhibition opportunities and microgrants as ways to engage with their peers and their neighborhood. Print artists are imagining more sustainable, affordable and accessible alternatives to academic or other large establishments. The co-chairs will briefly introduce panelists and their respective projects but will dedicate the majority of time to guiding a roundtable discussion that invites audience participation. We will share experiences, suggestions, networks and possibilities and assess current practices.

Viral Vectors: Prints, Resistance, Activism

Viral Vectors should be of interest to anyone interested in the role that prints—with the expanded definition of political posters, letterpress, blogs and integrated media—have played in the Wisconsin Uprising.

Voices of Silence

Expanded print media practices as transgressive visual and political territories will be presented as a platform of reflection regarding the “expanded” possibilities of contemporary print media and their role within “silent zones,” zones where graphics/print media have brought greater focus to marginalized issues, giving voice to the silent, to subaltern politics or ecological issues. Through an expanded view of the medium, this panel will evince traditional print media and its repercussions into myriad possibilities including the multiple, installation, sound and other forms.

Collaborative Thinking and Making in the ‘Post Racial’ Digital Atelier

“Post Racial” digital printmaking is an emerging mode of creative practice in which artists integrate traditional matrix creation methods with computer-based manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting, CNC routing and water-jet cutting in the pursuit of creating prints. In the ”Post Racial” Digital Atelier, expertise with ink, presses and paper is united with expertise in machining, computer-aided manufacturing, and digital image processing and programming. The scope of knowledge required is dependent on partnerships among experts from many fields, which has been nurtured by the inherently community-oriented nature of printmaking. This mode of printmaking practice has steadily evolved, especially through collaborations in the context of artist residencies, university research, and commercial fine print studios, as well as through service bureaus. Bringing together several individuals who have developed techniques within each of these contexts, this panel will closely examine a number of case studies, highlighting a range of collaborative models and their creative outcomes.

International Panel: Makers in Print

The international panel explores the vitality of printmaking around the world through the work of artists from six countries. Coordinating curators from Argentina, China, Mexico, Poland, South Africa and South Korea were invited to select artists from their respective countries whose work exemplifies the foremost techniques and concepts in the medium. Through the work of these varied printmakers, from Argentina to South Korea, one can identify many similarities and differences in themes, media and aesthetics. Join us for a unique opportunity to engage with these exceptional panelists as they present a lively discourse on techniques, philosophies, attitudes and traditions in the ever-developing world of printmaking.

Printmaking in Today’s China

America is the leader of international printmaking and the center of modern art, while China is the birthplace of printmaking and a country with a long-standing artistic tradition. One could say that there would not have been any development in American printmaking without the invention of papermaking, printing, bookmaking and multicolor printing in China. So, what is happening in the printmaking field in China today? Leaders of the China National Printmaking Association, professors from China’s foremost art institute for training in printmaking and contemporary artists from China will present themselves, their institutes and their regions’ prints, sharing their educational experiences and promoting the exchange between Eastern and Western printmaking eras.

International Exchanges at Artists Proof Studio

Artist Proof Studio (APS) was founded in 1991 and responded to the challenge of building democracy in a “Post Racial”Apartheid South Africa. It is a community art center in Johannesburg whose mission is to train young financially and educationally disadvantaged artists to achieve self-actualization. The panel will focus on examples of dynamic exchanges with international printmakers, institutions and exhibitions. The panelists will each present a brief synopsis of the focus of their workshops, capacity-building projects and exhibitions in collaboration with APS before opening the floor to a discussion of this ongoing creative exchange.

Theories of Making

In the decades following the rise of abstract expressionism, artists increasingly pushed the boundaries of what could be conceived as art and, by extension, what could be considered artistic labor. Movements and approaches such as Fluxus, conceptual art, process art and performance art often privileged idea over execution, or more accurately, created a different proposition as to what constitutes an art-making process than what was conventionally understood as skill acquisition. In this context, many college-level visual art courses abandoned traditional approaches to teaching, resulting in various forms of “de-skilling.” Emphasis was often placed on letting students “discover themselves” in the absence of a systematic overview of processes and materials, or questions of how to make art were considered secondary to theoretical or conceptual reasons for why to make art. Printmaking has generally remained committed to its historical and craft traditions, and sometimes its reputation has suffered within the hierarchies of the art world as a consequence. This session will offer some theoretical frameworks for making art, arguing for the value of a “theories of making” that does not eschew craft but positions it as a vital component of a creative practice.

Nancy Spero, Anti-Painter

American artist Nancy Spero abandoned oil painting on canvas in 1964 and traditional approaches to painting altogether in 1970. Spero’s chosen materials were deliberately fragile, transient and undervalued; she worked on paper, and her installations were usually temporary. The relationship between the materiality of her works and her feminist political convictions is inseparable. This presentation describes how this artist’s unique use of printmaking extended the conceptual import of her subjects.

Automated Drawing: Blurring the Line between Print and Drawing

Automated drawing machines are mechanical mechanisms that make drawings, typically drawing directly on the substrate using pens, pencils, charcoal or other traditional implements. Drawing and printmaking are close cousins in the world of works on paper. One main distinguishing feature is the possibility of making editions of prints. But what about drawings made through automated means? These are drawings in that they are images applied directly to the paper, but they are also editionable because they can be replicated. In this paper, I will survey a history of drawing machines and talk about how modern printmakers have adapted drawing machines to many uses. Recently a number of artists have begun to use these machines to make editioned drawings. I will show examples of contemporary work in this direction, including my own.

Printmaking in a “Post Racial” Condition

This presentation seeks to describe the personal use of traditional and contemporary printmaking in expressing a contemporary African American communal perspective. In a “‘Post Racial’–everything” world, how does one make specified distinctions? What is black, a print, everything and nothing? My research attempts to define a series of terms. First, it attempts to define tapestries in the digital age as prints, through editions and reabsorption into printmaking through the use of traditional processes. My scholarship also attempts to utilize a historically exclusionary practice as a strategy to include the very voices that were once ousted.

Chasing Dreams: Printing Teaching and Collaboration in Havana and HanoiScenarios play themselves out in a thousand different ways in Cuba and Vietnam, teaching me that there are vast differences in culture, ethos of work ethic, artistic vision and negotiation, and time management. Living where innovation is a means of survival, the art of conversation is enjoyed as a natural rhythm to the day, transportation is rough at best, and crisis is a daily occurrence; time has very little to do with the clock. With all my collaborations, there are two goals. First, to create a shared story and second, to place these books into collections and distribute the profits back to the individuals who helped make them. In this presentation, I will discuss collaborative book projects and printmaking experiences in Havana and Hanoi.

From Pop-Up to Permanent

This paper explores how to transform a project from pop-up to permanent. What are the ways PRESS: Letterpress as a Public Art Project can raise awareness and appreciation of print media? How does the public performance of printing inspire, speak to and transform the way the public experiences print media? PRESS houses the only Vandercook Letterpress open to the public in a gallery setting outside of museums in the state of Massachusetts. Having such a unique resource affords PRESS the opportunity to continue offering community workshops, poetry readings, exhibitions and open-studio opportunities to area and visiting artists—in addition to general observation of the printing process. Some of these events are programmed, designed and implemented by students. Students attend and participate as well. Specific examples of student and community projects that raise awareness and appreciation will be outlined further in the paper.

Kentridge’s primary printers, Jillian Ross and Mlungasi Kongisa, will share their experiences working with William and behind-the-scenes stories of how many of the images for The Nose and his newest series, Universal Archive, developed, from the inception of the project to its completion, the technical details, how the pieces fit together and overall what it is, was, and is now like working with William Kentridge.

Bike Print:MKE: Cycling, Printmaking, Community

Organized by Jeremy Plunkett, this project is a collaborative effort of conference goers and community to spread awareness and find “cyclical” similarities in the world of printmaking and bicycling. The bicycle is a simple and instinctive way to facilitate transportation and city exploration and to record traces via photographs/stories of Milwaukee’s urban landscape. When connecting cycling and printmaking, we can realize that both media involve the nature of revolving and hard work, can be very affordable to do, make for healthy lifestyles, involve grease, gears and human propulsion, are community, and are flows that keep society moving.

People will gather at UWM’s Spaghts Plaza, near the Studio Arts and Craft Center, Union Courtyard, where bicycles and participants can make project-specific cycling tire-related prints. Following the printing session, bicycling enthusiasts are welcome to join the coordinating artists in a ride from UWM’s main campus to the Kenilworth Square campus for the Open Portfolio event, where the exchange portfolio inspired by this idea will be on display.

The Nitty Gritty of Carborundum Intaglio

This workshop demonstrates the making and printing of carborundum intaglio plates using a variety of methods, including different grits of carborundum mixed with liquid gel medium, modeling paste and other adhesives. See how to build surfaces and add texture using tools and different materials. The printing demonstration also covers the mixing of inks, additives, wiping methods, chine collé, overprinting with different colors and the addition of drypoint. Many plates and prints are ready to view as examples, demonstrating the possibilities this medium offers.

Image Printing on the Vandercook Press: Printing and Coloring Secrets Revealed

In this demonstration workshop, master printer Peter Kruty will reenact several of the simple yet beguiling techniques he and his colleague, Sayre Gaydos, used to create Lesley’s distinctive and magical imagery. Some of the topics covered will include scanning of wash drawings for photopolymer plates, creating differing ink “personalities” when mixing and printing, applying water-based and polyurethane paper staining, achieving dense letterpress printing on “dry” abaca and cotton paper, surprinting on printed tints, ink smearing and, everyone’s favorite, archival collage. Not just for the printer/practitioner, this demonstration workshop should appeal to all who in their love of ink on paper find new, and perhaps deeper, mysteries once the mysteries are revealed.

Moku Hanga: Japanese Wood Block Printing

As an ancient technique developed in the Orient, Moku Hanga pooled from nature’s gifts, using earth as pigments, rice paste as its fixative, bamboo for tools, plants for making printing paper and the ingenuity of the artist to put it all together. It is now widely known through its Ukiyo-E images by masters such as Utamaro and Hiroshige. Martin Vinaver, from Mexico’s graphic arts center La Ceiba Gráfica, will talk about the technique and its availability to the western artist and art student.

Pastemaking for Printmakers: Silkscreen Printing

Chika Ito demonstrates pastemaking with different kinds of starch (wheat, rice, etc.) and materials (colorants from plants, etc.). Paste can be used as a base for ink and combined with many other printmaking techniques. Using paste in printmaking and other art, especially on paper, is a Japanese tradition. It is sustainable and very stable over time. Pastemaking is low cost and low technique, and using paste is low impact to the environment and less harmful to printmakers. Ito has been printing silkscreen with paste-based ink for the past five years.

A Homemade Printmaker

This demonstration teaches how to build a small safe and sufficient print studio through a collection of homemade tools and repurposed industrial methods. Gatesman illustrates how the creativity used in the studio can be employed to build and improve the studio itself. This demonstration looks at how to use the maker mindset as the inspiration behind the creative problem solving needed to build a studio from scratch. This also promotes the idea that limited circumstances (studio space, safety concerns, etc.) do not need to be restricted in the pursuit of goals. The demonstration includes a variety of tools and tricks developed for a small home-based printmaking studio. The materials and procedures are nontoxic and include an electrolytic etching system and a homemade etching press, among other things. The entire demonstration setup will fit into two custom-built shipping crates—further illustrating how concise your studio can be.

The Unique Print: Monotyping Wisconsin Style

Using a variety of different matrices, transfer techniques and registration methods, this demonstration embraces printmaking’s creative side. Fresh Hot Press, UWM’s printmaking club, presents a demo focusing on monotype processes. Club president, Galen Gibson-Cornell, and officers Maren Munoz and Greg Luckeroth will be leading the charge, and audience members are encouraged to participate in the making. This demonstration starts with a litho stone, a photoplate and a sheet of plexiglass. A multirun image will be created using each matrix, exploring creative inking strategies, innovative registration and alternative printing methods. Participants will play with colors and ink modifiers and found objects. The demonstration encourages thinking outside of the traditional norms of printing, taking risks and discovering a new look on making.

Century Plate Lithography

Century Plate technology is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the teaching and practice of fine art lithography in the past 50 years. It is now possible to reuse just one inexpensive heavy-gauge aluminum plate hundreds of times for hundreds of editions. Printmakers can easily register and print multiple-color lithographs, combining crayon drawings, reticulated toner washes, flats, halftones, digital images, found objects and even oil-based paint markers using just one Century Plate! When this capability is combined with new biodegradable solvents and materials for processing the plates, there is no need for hazardous acids, asphaltum, Red Lacquer V or Lithotine . . . although all of them will work on Century Plates.

A Painterly Approach to Intaglio

White ground etching offers an immediate, nontoxic way to create intaglio prints that can combine line, wash, tone, texture and transferred imagery from other surfaces in one process. Artists can work additively or subtractively with a variety of creative tools to produce subtly rich prints. White ground is a semipermeable, water-based ground that breaks down when it is applied progressively thinner (as a wash) on the plate or completely resists biting when opaque. Because the ground is made with soap, images can immediately be removed with water. The technique allows one to go back and add or subtract more white ground once dry. Because the ground is white, one is not working with reverse values as with traditional hard grounds.

UWM Digital Craft Research Lab

3D printing, laser cutting and other CNC technologies are becoming more accessible for the production of art, and the Digital Craft Research Lab of UWM invites you to explore the possibilities of digital fabrication. The goal of the Digital Craft Research Lab (DCRL) is to foster innovative, creative research in the areas of design, craft and art by combining advanced digital technology with traditional craft practices in an effort to educate students for the future. The DCRL fosters interdisciplinary design research, material research and innovation through making. As printmakers and artists, we look forward to contributing new ideas and innovations to our current practice as we share information with other makers. The lab features the work of designers and printmakers who have adapted the potentials of this technology to their practice. We invite you to share in our experiences through demonstrations and examples that will be shown in the lab.

Multiple-Plate Printing for Intaglio

San Francisco Crown Point Press master printer Ianne Kjorlie and printer Fanny Retsek demonstrate how to create a multiple-plate etching from start to finish, featuring Robert Bechtle’s 2011 soft ground and aquatint etching, Three Houses on Pennsylvania Avenue. This is a complex six-plate print, which demands tight registration within the image. This demonstration shows how the artist built and evolved his print in the Crown Point studio and explains the techniques used by the printers to set up a system that enabled the artist to draw the multiple-plate realist image on six plates, each plate in register with the others. Kjorlie and Retsek will then print Bechtle’s Three Houses on Pennsylvania Avenue to demonstrate Crown Point’s inking and hand-wiping techniques, and jig-based printing registration system. This method allows you to print a complex multiple-plate image with precise registration every time.

Three Bridges

Three Bridges is a collaborative installation by more than 30 students and faculty from Ohio University, Northern Illinois University and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The concept of three bridges references the Milwaukee Bridge War of 1845, among early settlers of the city. By creating a printed city at 1:50 scale, the project allows the participants to create three sections of an ideal city linked by bridges. This city is an ideal place for printmakers, where advertisement for ink and press manufacturers appear on billboards and the sides of buildings.

Velvetint on Copper and Zinc

Velvetint not only produces rich and fine mezzotint or aquatint results but also is easier for students to master and eliminates the risks of breathing finely powdered rosin as well as toxic fumes generated from melting rosin onto plates. Simply brush coat plates with a self-leveling, high-resolution photo coating made with a vegetable-based solvent and expose a stochastic screen onto it. Develop it in an aqueous-based developer and etch it. This process is featured in the new studio textbook, Printmaking Revolution, by Dwight Pogue (released May 2012 by Watson-Guptill).

Mokulito—Wood Lithography

The original process of lithography, developed by Alois Senefelder, has been expanded through the use of zinc and aluminum. Traditional lithography continues to be a vital art form for artists who practice printmaking, and especially those who entertain painting and drawing. How about using wood as a printing matrix for lithography? There have been innovations with Waterless Lithography and other processes that are being researched as alternatives. Join a presentation of a relatively new printmaking process developed by Ozaku Schisi, professor from the University of Tama Bijutsu, Japan, that has realized further development in Poland. This alternative process using wood has great potential for combining processes of relief and lithography. As the future of printmaking continues to expand, we will no doubt witness this technique being incorporated into printmaking curriculums and professional studios throughout the United States.

Picnic Table Printmaking

Printmaking has a long and colorful history, intimately engaged with technological advances. As we move through the 21st century, the digital era adds another layer of dialogue to the already complex stew of hybrid printmaking. In this demonstration, we will show a range of techniques on a variety of substrates that do not require a press, harmful acids or toxic solvents. We will be showing nonpress transfer techniques that can be done on wood, metal, fabrics and paper among other materials. They will appeal to artists who have limited or no access to a press or are interested in pushing the boundaries, both technically and conceptually, of printmaking. They can be used by themselves or with a variety of traditional printmaking techniques. This has the potential to appeal to not only printmakers but also to artists working in handmade paper, sculpture and textile arts and to book artists, to name but a few. And because the techniques range from very simple to complex, art educators working with children can avail themselves of these nontoxic transfer techniques with any age group. We plan to begin with the simple techniques and allow for audience participation. We will allow 30 to 45 minutes for each technique and 10 to 15 minutes for the demonstration, and the rest of the time will be used for audience participation.

Make/Do: Building Your Own Low-Cost Printing Press with Easily Accessible Materials

After attending a workshop on installation art at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in the summer of 2011, Michael Smoot decided to build his own printing press using only materials he found at the local hardware store and common hand tools (drill, saw, wrenches, etc.). After two weeks of tinkering, the press was complete and had cost approximately $300 in materials. See the press in action at this demonstration, plus watch a video of how it was built and get instructions for making your own. Smoot sees sharing his plans as a way to allow fellow printmakers to spread a shared appreciation of the medium, and he bases his demonstration on the innovation and collaborative spirit that is found in the open-source technology community, attributes he feels the printmaking community also shares.

Layer Upon Layer Upon Layer: Cool Paper, Hot Glass and Other Stuff

This presentation will illustrate creating multilayered prints using archival inkjet prints on Asian papers, traditional prints, natural dyes and mixed media supports. Included will be a PowerPoint presentation, simple hands-on demonstrations and showing of finished prints and works in progress.

Death Metal Press!

I heard, as it were the noise of thunderous rock n’ roll, one of the four beasts saying, “Come and see . . . YEE-HAA!!!” And I saw and beheld a Death Metal Printing Press: and he that commanded such a machine had a torch and cast metal woodblocks; and a fire was given unto him: and he went forth printing, and to print. (Fuertes 06:66:13)

Death Metal Press will bring its own form of reckoning to the 2013 SGC International conference and to all attendees who are righteous enough to behold such a sight. Artists Eric Fuertes, John Medina, Andrew Smith and Ross Turner will be wielding the most sinister printing press that man has ever witnessed. Forged by the Devil himself, Death Metal Press will be commanding fire as its servant to superheat “woodblocks” that have been molded and cast from molten metal. These metal “woodblocks” still possess all of the physical characteristics needed to create a relief print. However, they now have ascended to the right hand of the Periodic Table, which will enable them to be supercharged to about 700 degrees Fahrenheit. Death Metal Press will then substitute the press bed roller as the primary energy source to transfer a printed image to a substrate and supplement that energy with fire/heat. The heat source will not only replace the linear pound-force per square inch pressure needed to create a printed image, but it will also eliminate ink as a medium. The press in theory will then be a self-“inking” printing press that will create imagery mimicking a single color run relief print. The idea is modeled after early forms of letterpresses and a foundry device known as a core machine (creates sand molds through the use of patterns and heat). The idea transcends simply creating a big, efficient stamp or branding tool; it connects two of the most revolutionary industrial techniques known to man, foundry and printmaking. The amalgamation of these two industrial processes to academia/art has been vital tools/processes that have assisted many artists in finding their own means to expression. Harnessing fire as the energy source/ink, cast metal “woodblocks” and the mechanical actions of a letterpress gone mad, they will forever burn images into your mind, paper and soul.

But ambos mundos is more than just a historical or brand reference. It is a state, a duality where cultures and ideas cross borders, where visual images open doors that language cannot, and where daily life can enter through those doors.

The Unicorn! portfolio examines the fantastical in relation to making. Creation is as much an act of originality as it is genesis through remixture, and the image of the unicorn serves here as a metaphor for innovation and optimistic risk taking in contemporary printmaking, the willingness to investigate unfamiliar territories in the pursuit of something exceptional.

The Maker’s Mark, Dara Lorenzo

The Maker’s Mark portfolio is about artists collaborating with their everyday external environments. These prints will demonstrate how the artists view their communities and surroundings through the process of mark making using print.

Make __________, Matthew McLaughlin

Make __________ is about the other things we make: as printmakers, artists and people. Whether we make dinner for a family, make peace with an old friend or new enemy or make ends meet in our daily routine, we are constantly making things, even if they’re not prints. Artists will create their pieces based on their own completion of the phrase. A list of suggested phrases will be sent to participating artists for inspiration. Any techniques in printmaking will be allowed, including digital printing.

The theme of this portfolio relates to how traces can effect change, how what imprints us as individuals can effect real changes in culture, politics and our personal lives. What may seem ephemeral, like an echo, can generate cataclysmic changes globally, and what may seem insignificant can alter the course of our personal lives. As printmakers, as artists, what we experience relates to what we make, what we generate becomes.

I Had a Blueprint of History: An Artist Book by Lesley Dill

March 18–March 23 Tuesday–Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

River Level Gallery, 273 E. Erie St., Milwaukee

Artist, Lesley Dill; poet, Tom Sleigh; papermaker, Paul Wong; printer, Peter Kruty; and publisher, Susan Gosin collaborated for five years to produce a limited-edition book in which the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Beginning with the search for the perfect text, the collaboration became a performance of peers as each contributor responded with distinctive ideas and skills to realize the artist’s concept. Dill worked directly with a master papermaker and printer to translate her 40 masterful images into an editioned book that retains the raw power of her original imagery as it gained in subtlety from the nuances of each process.

Arts Colony or Global Village? Teaching printmaking in the interdisciplinary environment

February 26–March 23 Tuesday–Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Entrance Gallery, MIAD

This exhibition is an attempt to reexamine some fundamental tenets of traditional print processes. Its starting point is a critical essay by Luis Camnitzer about the insular nature of printmaking practices, titled “Printmaking: A Colony of the Arts.” The work was done by printmaking students from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. All artists vigorously engaged in the search for what we dubbed the “essence of print process.” We allowed all concepts to be examined and went as far as to question the validity of the traditional printmaking process in the era of digital technology. We all agreed that we would use print media only when they were the best process to express or convey the artist’s process. If they indeed were prints or included printed matter, it happens through a process of thorough examination, argument and critical discussions, that all took into account a broad context of contemporary print media art.

Instructors: Waldek Dynerman and Shane Walsh

East Gallery, 273 E. Erie St., Milwaukee

Participants: 36 participants from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Ohio University and Northern Illinois University

Three Bridges is a collaborative installation by more than 30 students and faculty from Ohio University, Northern Illinois University and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The concept of three bridges references the Milwaukee Bridge War of 1845 between early settlers of the city. By creating a printed city at 1:50 scale, the project allows the participants to create three sections of an ideal city linked by bridges. This city is an ideal place for printmakers, where advertisements for ink and press manufacturers appear on billboards and the sides of buildings.

Gaylord Schanilec: Wood Engraver and Fine Printer

Woodland Pattern Book Center 720 E. Locust St., Milwaukee 414-263-5001, woodlandpattern.org

March 21–23 Tuesday–Friday, 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., Saturday–Sunday, Noon-5:00 p.m., Closed MondaysReception: March 21, 7:30–10:00 p.m.

Internationally recognized book artist and fine printer Gaylord Schanilec is a master of the art of wood engraving. His current project, The River, is a study of the 22-mile length of the upper Mississippi River, known as Lake Pepin, or Pool Number 4 by the Army Corps of Engineers.

“This widest naturally occurring part of the river was dubbed the ‘Lake of Tears’ by Louis Hennepin in 1680, inspired by the tears of Indian men whose desire to kill the Frenchman was frustrated by their chief. The lake is home to a broad diversity of life including, I have read, nearly 80 species of catchable fish. Mayflies of the Driftless Region (MPS 2005) established a direction in my work that my wife calls ‘playful’ science. For a mayfly to be included in the book, I had to catch one. Sylvæ (MPS 2007), a study of the trees in our 20-acre Wisconsin wood, continues in the direction of natural science and adds the dimension of human history. This river, it seems to me, is the ultimate territory. I view myself as something of a modern-day natural philosopher swimming in the wake of Darwin or Thoreau. Of course, there are no new species to be discovered, and I am no Henry David Thoreau, but for me this place, at this time, is as interesting as can be.”—GS

The Tabloids

Reception: March 21, 7:30–10:00 p.m.

The Tabloids (A Portfoldio) explores and emphasizes the mechanics of making by referencing format in its title and by requiring that contributions extend beyond the dimensions of the container. These works will be outside the box, so to speak, with the stipulation that it also embodies the capacity to rest comfortably in the box. Viewers are invited to page through, unfold and otherwise open/dismantle these multidimensional works, while bearing responsibility to figure out how to put the works back together again.

Wonder Women

Gallery 218, Marshall Building 207 E. Buffalo St., Suite 218, Milwaukee http://www.gallery218.com/

March 20–23 Reception: March 22, 5:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

Wonder Women is a portfolio organized to celebrate and honor Frances Myers as an educator and mentor. This is the second all-female portfolio Amanda Knowles and Lenore Thomas have organized. For this second incarnation, we have included only women who attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison as graduate students under Frances. While we cannot possibly include all the women Frances has influenced over the years, we have chosen a group that extends over the breadth of time Frances taught. She has inspired so many students to be makers over her tenure as a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Since this year’s conference is about the idea of us as makers, honoring Frances as a mentor and teacher who encouraged her students to innovate, experiment and collaborate is only fitting.

Read Between the Lines: Enrique Chagoya’s Codex Prints

Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University 13th and Clybourn, Milwaukee 414-288-1669, marquette.edu/haggerty

January 16–May 19 Monday–Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Thursday, 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., Sunday, Noon–5:00 p.m.

Tour: March 23, 10:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.Gallery talk with curator Emilia Layden: March 23, 1:00 p.m.

Read Between the Lines: Enrique Chagoya’s Codex Prints comprises editioned, accordion-folded artist books and the preparatory drawings and trial proofs created during their fabrication. The exhibition seeks to reveal how and why the codex format, made of amate, or bark, paper and read from right to left based on Ancient Aztec, Mayan and Mixtec precedents, is a particularly successful artistic device for Enrique Chagoya.

The complexity of the codex printing process echoes the difficulty of the subject matter depicted therein. Content varies and can simultaneously include satirical, multilingual visual references to contemporary and historical political discourse, ancient pre-Columbian iconography, American pop culture, and international art historical paradigms.

While ancient codices were designed as narrative documents, Chagoya eschews the strict linearity of the form, instead conflating diverse images to create intricate, richly layered objects that defy conclusive interpretation. The codex serves as the most effective medium for the artist’s practice of “reverse anthropology,” which questions the power structures that create dominant, normative cultures and seeks to address the complexity of cross-cultural identity.

The theme of this portfolio relates to how traces can effect change, how what imprints us as individuals can effect real changes in culture, politics and our personal lives. What may seem ephemeral, like an echo, can generate cataclysmic changes globally, and what may seem insignificant can alter the course of our personal lives.

Material Muse: Japanese Paper Inspiring Print

Safi Studios Marshall Bldg, 207 E. Buffalo St., Suite LL8, Milwaukee http://www.safistudiosart.com

March 20–23 Friday, 5:00–9:00 p.m. and by appointment Reception: March 22, 5:00–9:00 p.m.

Before ever putting ink to paper, printmakers must go through many steps when using their hands to prepare the images they’ll make. When those same artists choose to print on washi,* the paper they use has had a similar journey. From crop cultivation and harvest to fiber preparation and sheet forming, skilled hands have carried out each step: many pairs of hands to get a sheet of washi into the hands of an artist. The artists included in this portfolio all work differently. But all have responded to and used some characteristic of washi, characteristics made possible by the many caring hands that make it. In choosing to work on washi, an artist’s print becomes a merging of two creative processes: collaboration between printmaker and papermaker.

Banyan Hearts Portfolio

Mandel Creative Studio 120 N. Broadway St., Milwaukee

The recent printmaking workshop at Banyan Hearts Studio thoroughly celebrated the true spirit and strength of printmaking as a medium of expression. Printmaking as a form of art is often not given the importance that it rightly deserves in India. As such, workshops like the present one, where artists of varied ages work together, rekindle an enthusiasm for the medium among the artists as well as the art lovers. The collection of prints by all 15 artists including Laxma Goud, Chippa Sudhakar, Krishna Reddy, Dara Larson and Nirmal Raja makes for an exquisite portfolio that every art enthusiast would love to cherish forever.

Hurry or Your Ears Won’t See What I’ve Made: Erin Close and Timothy Westbrook

The Pfister Hotel Gallery 424 E. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/artist-in-residence

March 20–23 7:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. dailyReception: March 22, 5:00–9:00 p.m.

Both Erin and Timothy were raised around people with an absence of vision—Erin with her parents and Timothy with his grandfather. This instilled a heightened awareness of physical presence in them both. The pair has transformed this acuteness in their relationship with materials and tools. The tape of an audiocassette mirrors yarn as the starting point for a potential experience. Through the playing of the tape and the weaving of the yarn a sensory experience is performed. The repetitive function of a slate and stylus for writing Braille echo the marking on a plate in printmaking, both building to a completed sensorial language. Work will be created live throughout the conference. Erin and Timothy invite you to feel with your eyes and listen with your hands.

The MARNsalon Exhibition Series is a multi faceted professional development program. Committee selects MARN members and artists are granted a valuable level of exposure to invited Guest Curators. For this exhibition MARN has asked Wilhelm van Rensburg to write a purview to frame our exhibition. Van Rensburg is Research Fellow at the Visual Identities in Art and Design (VIAD) Research Centre, Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA), University of Johannesburg (UJ), South Africa.

Here is a summary of his purview:

“Amidst a barrage of criticism leveled at socially engaged art/participatory art/social practice in art - that it is neither politically efficacious nor aesthetically compelling - one mitigating statement seems to recur: ‘It’s heart is in the right place’. Coming from a country, South Africa, with a long tradition of resistance art, I am interested in acts of defiance (whether conceptually, or in praxis) in order to determine how this trope can be conceived of as ‘art’.”

Virtual Exhibition: Print Revolution in America and the Wisconsin Presence

www.printrevolutioninamerica.com

March 20–23, 24/7

History is an account of past events, and as such, it requires time, distance and perspective to determine what has lasting importance. The subject addressed in this show is fine art printmaking, and the revolution and rebirth that occurred in the graphic arts beginning in the 1940s. From that time until today, the Print Revolution in America spread rapidly and reverberated across the nation, ultimately influencing the entire world. This exhibit defines that Renaissance through the eyes of Ronald L. Ruble and his collection of fine art prints. It provides a snapshot of the work of in excess of 100 of these creative and dedicated printmakers who were able to establish themselves and their work in the realm of this chapter in art history. Wisconsin and its artist/printmakers were major players in this rebirth. Enjoy the visit!

Since its inception in 1980, Print Forum has maintained a diverse and engaged membership of print and drawing enthusiasts, collectors, dealers, artists, and students.

The group sponsors public lectures by art historians, artists,

master printers, dealers, collectors, and publishers; private

workshops on connoisseurship and printmaking techniques;

and member field trips to exhibitions, artists’ studios, and

private collections. The organization also offers opportunities

to help build your personal collection. The focus varies for each

to modern and contemporary works on paper. Further, Print

Forum is proud to provide support for acquisitions of prints,

drawings, and artists’ books for the Museum’s Collection.

Print artists make. We get ink on our hands

and under our nails. We draw, scratch and

etch. We work our images over time, opening

ourselves to how making informs our thinking

and how thinking informs our making. Our work

inspires us, speaks to us and transforms us as

we inspire, speak to and transform our work.

Working with materials, tools, machines and

emerging technologies, we forge and reinvent

the visual language of printmaking. Join us in

Milwaukee, a city long known for its makers

and its making, where we will celebrate

making in print.
