 Who am I ? IDENTITY: UNLIMITED EDITIONS September 21, 2008 – January 11, 2009 The question of personal identity is a complex and constantly evolving process of self-knowledge that cannot be easily answered. What makes a person uniquely who they are is influenced by a myriad of factors including culture, ethnicity, gender, profession, psychology, values, and memory. Self identification in our modern, multicultural time may seem for some to be a riddle with unlimited possibilities. In collaboration with the Los Angeles Printmaking Society (LAPS), CAFAM hosts a juried exhibition of world class printmakers that ponders the age-old question of identity within the context of contemporary life. The artwork selected for Identity: Unlimited Editions represents a diverse range of personal expression as negotiated in this world of shifting and constantly evolving labels. Judith Amdur’s Fighting for My Life displays the blatant beauty of a human body surviving cancer; Joseph Vorgity’s The Boy Saint documents a spiritual journey influenced by, and eventually separated from, religious dogma; and Nancy Jo Hasselbacher records her mother’s genetic legacy through the physical imprint of her body. The above prints by these and the other selected artists display the varied and personal artwork reflectingthe magnificent range of printmaking techniques – from woodcuts, engravings, etchings to lithography,screenprints, and monoprints. A forum for discussion and a celebration of the rich heritage of printmaking, Identity: Unlimited Editions offers a unique opportunity to consider and engage with our diverse community.This exhibit demonstrates the virtuosity of artistic skill as well as the diversity of personal expression and willbe supported by a wealth of programming designed to educate on printmaking history and techniques.Check www.cafam.org for the latest workshops, lectures, and artist talks. This exhibit and public programs are sponsored by the Annenberg Foundation, the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, and the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles. |
