EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

This exhibition features collaborative prints from the Flatbed Press Collection in Austin, Texas, by six artists who live and work in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington. Exhibited alongside these prints are works from the artists’ ongoing studio practices, selected by participating graduate students, in an exploration of the relationship between artist and master printer. Participating artists are Billy Hassell, Celia Alvarez Muñoz, Laurence Scholder, James Sullivan, Linda Ridgway, and Joan Winter.

The Collections Series engages with students enrolled in CVAD’s graduate-level course “Methodologies of Art History and Visual Culture” taught by Dr. Jennifer Way, associate professor in art history. Students studied the artworks first hand and developed teaching tools and scholarly methods of examining the works throughout the fall 2009 semester. Excerpts from their research are shared in extended label texts throughout the exhibition and reprinted in the exhibition brochure.
