Recession Art Print Exchange | Fluctuations
We are now accepting submissions for Recession Arts first official Print Exchange. Open to printmakers working in all media. With our exchange, Fluctuations, we hope to stimulate a conversation between the act of creating, and collecting.
About Fluctuations
Nineteen artists will be selected to participate in creating original prints in an edition size of twenty-one. Each participant will receive their own, complete portfolio of this exchange and the additional prints will be on view during a reception that will be held on September 27th 2013.
Fluctuations will be curated by Anthony Tino and juried by the Recession Art staff with guest jurors Jon Irving and collaborative printmaker Kyle Simon.
Jon Irving was born and raised in the Washington DC area and recently received his MFA degree at SUNY New Paltz in Printmaking. Irving showed with Recession Art in our American Daydream exhibition, held in the winter of 2012. Irving is featured, for the second consecutive year, in the prestigious Internation Print Center of New York’s annual juried exhibition, which will be on display through August. Irving is currently working on his contribution to the Transmogrify Print Portfolio Exchange.
