Allan McCollum, The Shapes Project, 2009-10.
New Prints 2009/Autumn opened during Print Week to great fanfare. The New Prints exhibition is a highlight of the International Print Center of New York’s (IPNCY) otherwise strong exhibition lineup. Once every three or four months, IPCNY brings in noted artists, curators and master printers to choose from the hundreds of submissions the artists whose work will form a snapshot of print world. These exhibitions tend to collect a wide range of talent working in print to one New York location. For many of the artist’s exhibited in the series this may be their first Chelsea exhibition. Wonderfully, you will often see world famous artists on the wall right next to a great piece by someone from Kalamazoo. This year’s New Prints 2009/Autumn did not disappoint.
