Opening reception Wed, May 18, 6:30-9pm, exhibit runs May 14 - June 8, 2011

OPENING RECEPTION MAY 18 @ 6:30 pm

EN PAPEL showcases the breadth and scope of recently-produced imagery emerging from Latino printmaking studios affiliated with the US-based Consejo Grafico. The exhibit traces provocative delineations of the Latino body politic as expressed through the artists' reflections of the world(s) they inhabit.

Consejo Grafico is an independent network of print studios that was formed to advance the legacy and viability of printmaking in the United States. The Consejo promotes collaboration as a condition to further the preservation and continuity of the critical/activist orientation that spearheaded Latino printmaking. This network spans the nation and includes works from Texas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more.

Exhibit co-curated by Juan Fuentes & Maurizzio Hector Pineda
