2019 in Hindsight


On the eve of 2020, it's time to look back in hindsight on all the exhibitions and other adventures of the Ambos Lados International Print Exchange.

We had 3 major exhibitions in the United States, and one formal presentation in Oaxaca in 2019.

The Ambos Lados adventure has been more than exhibitions.  In the summer of 2019, three of us --Manuel Guerra, Marco Sanchez, and Karl Whitaker -- toured Mexico from Guadalajara to Oaxaca, meeting Ambos Lados printamakers, and other print maestros, along the way.  What a humbling trip!








During the Santa Fe exhibition, the members of Horned Toad Prints of El Paso, run by Manuel Guerra, were well received by all the extraordinary printmaking/art institutions of New Mexico.

Meanwhile, I don't get enough news from Oaxaca, but the printmaking community is very active.  Oaxaca, in my opinion, is the Mecca of printmaking worldwide.

In the previous posting on this blog, are more stories about other Ambos Lados printmakers.



And who knows, maybe the adventure has only begun....

Mexican artist and printmaker Francisco Toledo of Oaxaca,
who started the IAGO
and elevated printmaking all over Mexico,
having a big impact on the Ambos Lados print exchange
