In my blogstrolls, I discovered this treasure on MoMA’s site: Kiki Smith: Prints, Books, and Things. Take a look at the neat website with the videos displaying the actual printing process!

“Kiki Smith (American, born Germany, 1954) is among the most significant artists of her generation. Known primarily as a sculptor, she has also devoted herself to printmaking, which she considers an equally vital part of her work. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue, Kiki Smith: Prints, Books, and Things (2003), showcase the scope of Smith’s printed art and present it thematically, focusing on such topics as anatomy, self-portraiture, nature, and female iconography. This interactive Web site is similarly arranged and fosters a rich understanding of her innovative body of printed art, illustrating over 135 works in more than 50 comparative groupings. In the Process section, Smith’s creative thinking is explored through two series of evolutionary printed proofs and through video footage of the artist making prints.”

Burnaby Art Gallery has an exhibition of prints by Bob Steele, a major Canadian printmaker. He is Professor Emeritus in Art Education in the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia. Steele’s work has won awards and been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
View images of Bob Steele’s work** and read his very interesting and informative statement “The Pleasures of Printmaking”.
Reception: Sunday, February 29, 1:30-3:30pm
The exhibition continues to March 21, 2004

** Update May 2014: Expired link has been removed.

Steven Dixon, one of the three artists in our Traces exhibition in Finland, is having an exhibition of his photogravures opening at the SNAP Gallery. This is a gallery run by the Society of North Alberta Print-Artists in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

(My “Meta-Morphosis” series of prints was on exhibition at the SNAP in 1999.)

UPDATE: More of Steven’s work may be viewed at Herringer Kiss Gallery in Calgary.
