Elder Gallery - Charlotte, NC: DISRUPTING THE MATRIX Reception Friday, December 1, 6 - 8 PM On display: December 1 - March 30 Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art is thrilled to present 'Disrupting the Matrix', the gallery's first exhibition exclusively dedicated to the practice of printmaking. Featuring fifteen artists working in traditional and experimental methods of printmaking, 'Disrupting the Matrix' will investigate a robust spectrum of practices and techniques, presenting a survey of printmaking that disrupts and exceeds conventional perceptions of what printmaking is or is not. Likewise, each artist's work will offer unique visual and conceptual commentaries that challenge the conventionally understood matrix of our world. Through the exploration of topics such as the human condition, sublimity, politics, social systems, race, language, and the psychology of self, 'Disrupting the Matrix' will provide an educational and insightful review of printmaking at the intersection of technique and narrative.

Gately Gallery - Florence, SC: WANT MORE Reception Tuesday, March 7 On view: January 16 - March 7 Impulsive acquisitions, giving and receiving, a sense of what is deserved, owed, and only right, WANT MORE elevates surfaces into seductive invitations and mysterious points of inquiry. Through repetitive investigations of motives and materials, objects are offered up to be scrutinized, quantified, and assigned value. Grids feature heavily, embracing the multiple as a nod to historical printing processes as they dominate the space. Building upon the intimacy of presence, ritual, and obsession, objects are preoccupied with surface texture, quality, and variety then positioned for viewing as the ultimate, and optimal, pleasure. Color is vice. Removing the compulsion toward a full-spectrum palette, a singular color obsession is achieved. This exclusive, vibrant hue is exalted into a visual indulgence, collecting the space into a cohesive movement where forms and elements become relentlessly, satisfyingly objectified. Leaning heavily on accumulation, technique, dedicated line quality, and a meticulous process, WANT MORE entices the viewer into taking equal gratification in the knowing and eternal search for more. — Myles Calvert + Tamara LaValla

Southern Graphics Council International SGCI : Verified by Proof Panel Discussion and Pop-Up Exhibition Modified. Yet to be Verified Conference Dates: April 3-6, 2024 The progression of technology often paves the way for integration and adaptation, giving rise to new norms and practices. Innovations such as CNC routers, laser engravers, heat sublimation image transfer, and AI have expanded the possibilities of printmaking while raising critical questions: are these advancements propelling printmaking forward, or are they veering off into a distinct category of their own? How do these developments prompt us to reconsider the definition of authorship and challenge our preconceptions about the role of human creativity in the artistic domain? This panel offers a series of talks by emerging and established artists contextualizing printmaking as an expanding field, showcasing best practices in professional, community, and academic print workshops.
