From Providence College Galleries:
This exhibition features many multi-artist fine art print projects selected from the archives of AS220 Editions, Binch Press X Queer.Archive.Work, Counterform, DWRI, and Jacque’s Offset; and a commissioned artwork by Lois Harada. It shows how artists and the printing presses they run use specific visual languages—especially those speaking with type, color, repetition and ornamentation—to tell stories of a diverse and politically active artist community in Providence. Drawing out unique combinations of abstraction and pattern, Providence Prints! also points to the sometimes subtle, sometimes overt ways local artists create and disseminate what is simultaneously hyperlocal and inclusive of broader global narratives. Altogether, the artworks in this exhibition highlight new perspectives on subjects that remain central to contemporary artists, including feminist and queer aesthetics, wide-ranging depictions of diversity and advocacy for anti-racist practices, among other themes.
