Albuquerque getting busy -- Remarque Print Workshop

The delivery date has been extended to December 15th, 2018, for the Ambos Lados International Print Exchange!


Albuquerque is home to Tamarind Institute and Takach Press, as well as Remarque/New Grounds Print Workshop, where the Ambos print fever was centered during the first weekend of November.




Remarque Print Workshop is offering 2 one week residencies next year -- February 4-9 or March 11-16, 2019.  Apply at CAFE before December 9, 2018.  There are 8 slots available.



Mike Kimball is submitting to the Ambos Lados International Print Exchange.  He recently made a steamroller print in Silver City, New Mexico, for the Southwest Print Fiesta on October 6th.  He also gave a print workshop at Remarque in Albuquerque, on November 2-3.

Jessica Weybright, printmaker and one of the 4 co-owners of Remarque Print Workshop, submitted a print edition to Ambos Lados.




Ren Adams is also submitting.  She added a poetry/performance to  her opening at Remarque on November 2nd, 2018  -- for the "Flatline" exhibition which she curated.  She also printed Rubin Urrea Moreno's relief print for the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta in 2015.




Julianna Kirwin came down to Remarque Print Workshop to deliver her edition for Ambos Lados, though she prints in her own studio at home.

Kimberly McCarthy also delivered her edition.  She is one of the new print interns at Remarque.



Frol Boundin gave a very interesting talk about his printmaking techniques -- etching aluminum and steel in copper sulphate -- during the opening at Remarque on November 2nd.  While he has not signed up for Ambos Lados, his spontaneous presentation is just another fascinating peripheral windfall for the Ambos Lados adventure.



Meanwhile, Henry Morales is busy in his printmaking studio at his house, making his Ambos Lados print, and editioning the print of Augustine Romero.

Lastly, Karl Whitaker is experimenting with the laser cutter at QueLab hackerspace, trying to translate one of his drawings into an intaglio print.  He is maintaining this blog from Albuquerque, which explains all the pictures in this blog posting.

Again, apply by December 9th, for one of 8 one week slots, for the print residency at Remarque Print Workshop in Albuquerque.



OTHER News:

The Desert Triangle Print Carpeta was really pleased to be a part of Print Austin earlier this year (2018) while we exhibited at the Mexic-Arte Museum.  Therefore a few of the Desert Triangle/Ambos Lados artists are submitting to the The Contemporary Print (TCP) for next year's Print Austin 2019 (the deadline has passed).

Manuel Guerra and Francisco Delgado submitted their print collaboration:

was submitted for the next Print Austin 2019 exhibition

I believe that Pavel Acevedo submitted to Print Austin as well.


Also HAND Magazine is a great magazine for printmakers. Remarque has a few copies in their print workshop, and I recognized a few printmakers in almost every issue.  In fact, the publisher Adam Finkleston, currently has a print hanging in the Remarque gallery.




The next deadline for submission to Hand Magazine is November 30th, 2018.
