LOVE FROM HAVANA
Two printmakers from Cuba submitted to the Ambos Lados print exchange, which is not easy. Orlando Almanza made a posting about the upcoming exhibition on his Instagram:
Octavio Irving from Havana also contributed to Ambos Lados. He made the first Ambos Lados print in Havana -- exactly one year before the Santa Fe opening, on July 12th -- for Tanya Rich.
MURAL IN OAXACA
Two of the Ambos Lados prints turned into a mural in Oaxaca -- by Dulce Aquino Monterrey and Inocencio L Villegas!!!
AD
We put a quarter page ad in THE Magazine of Santa Fe. We also had some publicity from PasaTiempo and the Santa Fe Reporter.
SURVIVORS
A big thanks to Eric Thomson, who owns Argos Studio/Gallery. He framed all 158 prints, and made extensive publicity for the exhibition. Moreover, he also contributed a print to Ambos Lados.
ELSEWHERE IN SANTA FE...
Pavel Acevedo was being shown in the Art Santa Fe Contemporary Art Show 2019, with the Jen Tough gallery of the Bay Area. Not only did he contribute a print edition to this print exchange, but he introduced us to the printmakers of Oaxaca. Without Pavel, we could not have done Ambos Lados.
