Morphology of the Print examines the form and structure of contemporary printmaking. The exhibition includes the work of 29 artists, both established and emerging, who push the boundaries of the medium and explore its strategies and techniques in new ways. Artists’ books, sculptures, assemblages, and installations are exhibited alongside two-dimensional work. The works blend a wide variety of printing techniques, such as monoprint, linocut, silkscreen, etching, and lithography.
Several artists in the exhibition include the use of stitching techniques with printmaking. Ghada Amer is known for her delicate line drawings of abstracted erotic subjects modulated by an overlay of stitched lines. Sewing has been a part of Amer’s work for many years and here it is added to the print with a digital sewing process. More recently a colleague, Reza Farkhondeh, has become a frequent collaborator and the two have produced Dalliances, (2005), a lithograph with floral patterns created by Farkhondeh and a figurative image by Amer.
