I am so pleased to be a part of the PROOF: exhibition at beppu wiarda in March.  The group show includes multiple artists that focused on female scientists and mathematicians for the content.  I have continued my exploration of 19th century astronomer, suffragist, librarian and educator Maria Mitchell.  My work, “An Explanatory and Annotated Legend and Accompanying List, Utilizing the Path of Venus as Seen from Earth to Discuss the Connections between those in Maria Mitchell’s Personal Library as an Addendum to the Personal Libraries Library of Portland, Oregon.” includes a grid of nine letterpress prints (pictured above) and a take-away stack of offset posters.

Alongside the show, there are a series of discussions led by the contributing artists, art historians, scientists and mathematicians.  There is a discussion every Sunday at 3 pm in the gallery.  I will be leading a discussion on Sunday, March 21 that will involve Maria Mitchell and the Personal Libraries Library.

Other artists and their “collaborators” include:
Katie Ammons : Louise Arner Boyd / Kate Copeland : Zoe Rodriguez del Rey / Kate Fenker : Marcia Ascher / Bean Gilsdorf : Suzanne Gahl / Kim Hamblin : Chrystal Bell / Kim McKenna : Sophie Germain / Sara McKenna : Ada Lovelace / Lorna Nakell : Sophie Brahe

I am also so pleased to be a part of Printeresting’s curatorial project Copy Jam! As the Copy Jam! website relates:

‘”COPY JAM!” will be an interactive print event. During the party, fifty works by fifty artists will be displayed in a grid on the wall. Upon arrival, each guest will be handed a complimentary ticket that can be exchanged for one black & white photocopy of any work the guest chooses. There will be no sales; one ticket equals one copy. Copies will be made LIVE in the gallery for one night only!’

This exciting “show & take” runs in conjunction with SGC’s Mark & Remarque and the inaugural Philagrafika in Philadelphia. I wish I could be there for all of the incredible art, discourse and ephemera!
