Quintin Gonzalez. What He Saw.
Film screening: All About Prints (2008, 55 min.), Saturday, July 10 @ 2:00 pm. Introduction and discussion by guest curator, Tatiana Reinoza Perkins, University of Texas, Austin.
Featuring: John Driesbach, emeritus Sac State lithographer, in conjunction with thirty six other artists from across the United States, produced Merely Mammalian Magnetism, a droll portfolio of refrigerator magnets printed by Fleet Graphics of Dayton, Ohio. The Denver-based Quintin Gonzalez depicts fictional characters that infuse Chicano iconography, video game graphics, and comic book imagery through digital printing. Director of UC Davis’ Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, Carlos Francisco Jackson creates socially engaged prints by digitally manipulating historical photographs. Using the language of cartography, the New York-based Nicola López renders human-built landscapes while working with media that highlight the artist’s hand. A celebrated photographer of endangered species, the San Francisco-based Susan Middleton teamed up with Crown Point press to produce a series of true full-color photogravures. Brazilian-born and New York-based conceptual artist Vik Muniz produces optical illusions that encourage the process of discovery and question our belief in science. Stop animation videos based on the process of printmaking is the work of the Indonesian art collective Tromarama.
