SGCI Print Conference

We are showing our prints as part of the big SGCI print conference in Portland.

Many people came by to see our prints

 at the Portland State University Open House 

(March 30, 2016) from 6 - 10 pm

The printmakers from Hoofprint from Chicago

were two of many printmakers 

who visited our pop-up show

Matthew Letzelter (from PNCA) 

and Eleanor Erskine (from PSU) 

are both printmaking professors in Portland.

Thank you to Eleanor Erskine for lending

us the space.

We enjoyed meeting Brian Lane

he curated the theme portfolio

shown at PSU

"What Would Freud Say"

from the "Dreamscapes" porfolio

Print Zero Studios is sponsoring another print exchange -- 7 x 10 inch prints, edition of 15 -- deadline July 31st, 2016.

Print Zero Studios has self-published catalogs of their past print exchanges on Lulu, like we did for our print exchanges.

Portlandia

We hung the 30 prints of the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta at Portland State University; in the mezzanine of the print studio in Neuberger Hall.

Perhaps the best time to view the show is during Portland State University Open Reception -- Wednesday, March 30th, from 6- 9 pm.

This pop-up show is for the big SGCI print conference in Portland from March 30th -- April 2nd, 2016.  This show is listed as one of the exhibitions at Portland State University during the SGCI conference.

Our pop-up show is at Neuberger Hall, 2nd floor, 724 SW Harrison Street (Printmaking Studio Mezzanine, Room 260)

Tanya Rich and Lauren Moran hung the show.

Lauren Moran is an Inkubator speaker at SGCI,

as well as one of the Desert Triangle print artists

The next day (March 31st) 

Lauren Moran gave a talk about 

"Printmaking And Social Practice"

Checking our ad out 

from a pile of Hi-Fructose magazines,

in Powell's Bookstore,

largest bookstore in the world

Tanya Rich found the Portland Triangle

(but we abused the food triangle 

and ate at Voodoo Doughnut)

We are looking forward to visiting Flight 64, and other printmaking studios, and partaking in art projects while we are in Portlandia.

Hi-Fructose Ad

We placed an ad in Hi-Fructose art magazine -- volume 39, page 21 -- coming out in April, 2016.
