A Glimpse Through the Matrix: A Survey of Regional Contemporary Printmaking

May 6-July 18, 2022
MAC's Helen South Alexander Gallery

This invitational exhibition demonstrates diverse approaches to the process of printmaking at the hands of twelve contemporary artists. Works on display take traditional applications to the printing process and repurposing materials to create matrices (photographic prints, LEGOS, and recycled plates) that celebrate the printed mark, transforming them into images that go from abstraction to raising individual's voices and social issues. In addition, this exhibition celebrates the diversity and community that comes around the process of printing ink on paper and the creation of democratic multiples.

Curated by Reinaldo Gil Zambrano and Carl Richardson as a continuation of the annual Spokane Print Fest.
