Books and Good Reads AND Good Talk
Congratulations, Holly Brigham, for your collaborative project and artist book, Sacred Sisters, now included in collections of the Smithsonian Institution and at these colleges — Swarthmore, Oberlin, Penn State, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Lafayette College, Smith College. Holly told me that the book, (see the book here) which incorporates her paintings of esteemed (but under-known) women in history like Hillarie Batista de Almeida, Hildegard von Bingen and Henriette de Lille, with poems by Marilyn Nelson, is an edition of 12 and it looks like it’s on its way to selling out! The star-wheel, book design and execution is by artist MaryAnn Miller.
Haven’t made it out to Arcadia University Art Gallery to see much beloved artist and educator, Astrid Bowlby’s big oven mitt in her show When the Shadow is not your Shadow, guest-curated by Yuka Yokayama and David Dempewolf of Marginal Utility? Well, get up there, and as a warm up, catch the recorded interview Abby King did with Astrid at Velvet Glove! Good talk about making art, the audience and many other things.
Also, have you seen Sharon Hayes’s monument in Rittenhouse Square, part of Monument Lab? Amble over and climb up on the interactive piece, and by all means, read Artblog Managing Editor Imani Roach’s essay/feature on Hayes’s monument. The piece debuted on Artblog recently and it’s beautiful, do not miss it!

Brisman, Susan Dackerman, Phyllis McGibbon, Madeleine Viljoen, Imin Yeh, and more.This year’s conference, titled Graphic Mimicry: Intermediality in Print and the Art of Imitation, will examine the intervisual dialogue between prints and other media from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Co-sponsored by Tyler’s Printmaking and Art History Departments, we will attempt to answer the question: how did this ability of print to adeptly mimic nearly every other art form and to assert itself within the discourses of other mediums become one of it’s greatest strengths and a critical tool for contemporary printmaking?
