Director Lari Gibbons at SGCI

Yesterday's inspiring panel of presenters organzed by Kevin Haas (@printmakingkev). I found Jill Graham's talk in particular a lovely journey, and to say nothing of Lari Gibbons(@lrgibbons) work at UNT/PRINT, as well ad Spudnik's (#spudnikpress) fantastic leadership would be amiss. On top of that I was able to share it with a lovely bunch of friends new and old. #sgci2017

A post shared by @williamprints on Mar 18, 2017 at 12:39am PDT

P.R.I.N.T Press Director Lari Gibbons spoke on the SGC International Sponsored Panel chaired by Kevin Haas of Washington State University. This panel provided examples and defenses for the print studio as a multifaceted learning environment where art practice, project management, budgets, safety, and administration are all at play. Participants included: 

• Kevin Haas (panel chairperson), Professor, Washington State University

• Lari Gibbons, Professor and Director of P.R.I.N.T. Press, University of North Texas

• Jill Graham, Printmaking Technician and Master Printer, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design

• Angee Lennard, Founder and Director, Spudnik Press Cooperative

• Nicolette Ross, Studio Manager, Spudnik Press Cooperative

Work by Lari Gibbons was also included in Uncertainty Principle, a portfolio organized by Sean P. Morrissey and Lenore Thomas. The project reflects the dynamic field of printmaking by inviting artists who fluidly work across or at the edge of disciplines to apply their aesthetic and conceptual vision to the multiple, representing the ability of the print to move from one point to another in terms of execution and definition. 

Collaboration with Susan Goethel Campbell wins Prix de Print!

We are pleased to announce that P.R.I.N.T's collaboration with Susan Goethel Campbell was selected for the Prix de Print in the March/April issue of Art in Print. Entitled Aerial: Other Cities #9, this limited edition woodblock print with perforations is also featured on the cover of the issue. 

For the Art in Print competition, an outside juror selects a single work to be the subject of an article in Art in Print. The competition gives artists and publishers the opportunity to have their work seen by a global audience of curators, collectors and peers, and to be discussed within a context of serious art criticism and history. 

The juror was Katie Michel of Grenfell Press, a printer and publisher of artist’s books and limited edition prints founded in 1979. Katie serves on the board of the International Print Center New York. 

Susan Goethel Campbell’s project at UNT was a true collaboration. Photography Professors Dornith Doherty, Paho Mann, and Adam Neese worked with Director Tracee Robertson to select Susan Goethel Campbell's work for the UNT Art Galleries show, Permanence / Impermanence. Susan delivered a talk at the Gallery and worked on Aerial: Other Cities #9 at P.R.I.N.T. After the exhibition, Susan returned to install her pieces in the Fibers Dye Garden, where she worked with Professor Lesli Roberston. 

Student assistants include: Justin Archer, Jessie Barnes, Nathan Eclavea, Sarah Ellis, Zack Petot, Kayla Seedig, Melody Vaughan, and David Villegas.

A photograph of the winning print is on P.R.I.N.T’s website. 

Congratulations to all!
