Local Idiosyncrasy Print exchange

This year’s print exchange, organized by Cole Hoyer-Winfield, focuses on the locations we live in. Specifically, their unique characteristics, and quirks. Participating studios include American printmakers from Recess Press and Bikini Press (Minneapolis), and Brazilian printmakers. From the Solar do Barão do Serro Azul, and Atelier Piratininga (Curitiba and São Paulo). A total of 25 artists were involved this year, each with their own unique process and imagery, from monotypes to reliefs, screen prints to embossments.

Local traditions, stereotypes, and cultural traits are all factors that affect our trajectories as artists. Whether they be positive, negative, or somewhere in between. In exchanging prints with artists from cities and countries distant from our own. We may see another perspective of each other’s production and learn how to see our own home through a new lens.
