The Desert Triangle Presents
Contemporary Mexican Prints
Mexico must be the current Mecca of prints, as there is a huge surge in printmaking just south of El Paso's border. We followed the Mexican artists' example when we put together the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta of Southwest printmakers (exhibited at the EPMA in 2016). In fact, half of the Desert Triangle print editions were produced in Mexico -- Mexico City, Jalapa, and Oaxaca. Naturally we could not resist collecting prints from contemporary Mexican printmakers -- and it is a selection of such that is currently on display.
El Paso printmakers continue to work with Mexican printmakers. Later in October for instance, the Horned Toad Print Exchange goes on view in Oaxaca. This print exchange was organized by Manuel Guerra in El Paso, but includes Mexican printmakers. It would be wonderful to see this international art dialogue continue and flourish.This exhibit is curated by Erica Marin and Krrrl, and made possible by the help of Federico Villalba.
Setting Up: Monday, October 2nd:

BORDERLAND JAM
Also, during the same weekend in El Paso, the Borderland Jam is happening, not too far from downtown -- 1601 E 4th Street. They spray paint large walls graffiti style, and some great work has come out of that like in the past. We posted some of last year's (2016) masterpieces on this blog.
Plus the call to artists deadline is October 13th, for a print show at Remarque/New Grounds in Albuquerque -- 5th Annual International Juried Print Exhibition (as mentioned on CAFE).
