Season's News
Thank you for reading. We look forward to seeing you often this season!
ARTISTS
We are so pleased to announce the publication of four new editions by the acclaimed artist Sebastiaan Bremer. The suite To Joy was inspired by Schiller's Ode To Joy. Bremer used his 1972 family vacation photographs, enhanced digitally, with hand painting and collage, to create an atmosphere of profound peace and optimism.
Publishing collaborations are continuing with Alison Elizabeth Taylor and Hank Willis Thomas. We are excited to announce that Heide Fasnacht and Dasha Shishkin have just begun residencies this summer. We are grateful to work with such innovative artists and look forward to sharing their projects with you.
Joell Baxter, Steven Millar, and Jonggeon Lee--our Special Editions Residents--have spent the spring and summer exploring printmaking and extending their artistic visions. Stay tuned, we will launch their new editions next Spring!
So many contract projects, large and small, are keeping our Master Printers and Studio Assistants very busy this season. So much so that Printer Keigo Takahashi has joined our team. Recent projects include two suites of etchings by Mark Bradford, to be featured in his show at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. this fall; a large series of screenprints by Thomas Dozol for his show at Jack Hanley Gallery; a suite of screenprints with carborundum by Hank Willis Thomas for his upcoming show at Jack Shainman Gallery; and single editions for Demetrius Oliver and Aaron Krach.
Announcing the new Keyholder Residents: Megan Berk, Rebecca Bird, Gisela Insuaste, and Charles Koegel will be welcomed to the studio this month!
Special thanks to the Keyholder selection panelists: Boshko Boskovic, Program Director, Residency Unlimited; Kalia Brooks, Independent Curator; Jayson Keeling, Artist; Lanka Tattersall, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Painting & Sculpture, MoMA; and Dan Walsh, Artist.
