Prints and Faxes
The Museum of Art is featuring two concurrent exhibits in Carnegie Hall through Jan. 20.
Colorprint USA 1998, organized annually by Texas Tech University, is an exhibition of original prints created by artists from each of the 50 states. The intention of the exhibition is to encourage printmakers to use color techniques encompassing prints of all types - lithographs, woodcuts, etchings and screen prints. Each artist contributed an edition of 50 prints so the exhibition can take place simultaneously in one venue per state.
The second show is Salon de Fax, an invitational exhibition by the Museum of Art that has already caught the attention of the New York Times. Salon de Fax is devoted to the FAX machine as a vehicle of expression that has assimilated into our technology-driven lives. Salon de Fax is wacky and unpredictable.
