The Monotype Guild of New England
invites members in good standing
to submit a maximum of three monotypes
or monoprints for an exhibition at
Thayer Academy Art Gallery in Braintree, MA.
This exhibit is JURIED.
JUROR:
Rachel Vogel is the assistant curator at the Addison Museum at Phillips Andover in Massachusetts and a historian of modern, contemporary and American Art with a focus on printmaking. Her dissertation, “Mutual Registration: Printmaking and/as Conceptual Art, 1965-1979,” analyzed the significance of print and printmaking for conceptual artists, revealing how they marshaled printmaking’s unique qualities to confront conventional notions of authorship, originality, and value. Rachel's research has been supported by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Pittsburgh Foundation, the Richard and Susan Smith Foundation and Harvard University.
Juror Rachel Vogel will award three prizes: 1st place: $250, 2nd place: $150, 3rd place: $100.
