After Life: A Print Exchange About Hauntings
In the last decade, there’s been a boom of TV shows, movies, books and websites devoted to ghost hunting, demonology, and hauntings. But what makes a haunting? Is it cold spots, odd noises and levitating objects? Is it full-blown apparitions of spirits and possessions? Or is it what we know of a location or object’s history, and what we imbue it with, that creates the experience of a spiritual presence? Is it the signs of life left behind by the deceased and our interpretation of those signs that creates a ghost? Is it the spirits reaching out to us or us reaching for them?
This print exchange is way to trade ideas about hauntings. Artists from around the world are invited to participate in creating a limited edition print using any traditional printmaking technique - relief, lithograph, intaglio, silkscreen, letterpress, or combination of techniques. Artists may respond to Hauntings as abstractly or literally as they choose. Two prints will be kept for the archive and for traveling exhibitions. Please contact me if you would like to exhibit the portfolio. The remaining 15 prints are used for the exchange.
