Affiliated with Dalian University of Technology, she will use a medium-format film camera to capture the images.<br /><br />“Veronica O’Keefe is one of the most outstanding students in the printmaking studio,” said Rimer Cardillo (Printmaking). “She freely moves from one media to another. She is a gifted artist, who is always very professional in completing art works from the original ideas to the end of the project. I know that she will do an excellent job in China.”<br /><br />He added that there are plans for O’Keefe to display her Fulbright project in our school.<br /><br />O’Keefe began learning Chinese in the college’s Asian Studies program with where she earned a minor. She is looking to increase her fluency in the language and has applied for a Critical Language Enhancement Award from the Fulbright Program. If she receives the award, she will be leaving for China in August.<br /><br />O’Keefe, who has a background in documentary photography, said she spent about a year looking into and applying for the grant. She met with former Fulbright scholars, including Jonathan Schwartz (Political Science and International Relations) on campus, and worked with the Center for International Programs and the Institute for International Exchange in New York City.<br /><br />The Fulbright U.S. Student Program allows for individually designed study/research or an English Teaching Assistantship operates in more than 140 countries.SUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-13658739349120801362008-11-05T17:20:00.000-08:002008-11-24T10:54:03.799-08:00SUNY New Paltz at Hongik University 20th Anniversary Printmaking Exhibition, Seoul, Korea<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSYNHo9ZGAI/AAAAAAAAADk/YlD1SNBnBbk/s1600-h/korea1331-adj.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSYNHo9ZGAI/AAAAAAAAADk/YlD1SNBnBbk/s400/korea1331-adj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270914838788904962" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >We are very proud to announce that the Printmaking Program at SUNY New Paltz was recently selected to represent the contemporary field of printmaking at Hong Ik University in Seoul, Korea.

Her work is produced from a heritage of American Southern gothic tradition that relies heavily on the imprint that individual experience has on the artist. Fox received her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and her BFA from University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Working across media, Carson produces prints, installation, and sculpture.<br /><br />She is represented by Claire Oliver gallery in New York, Linda Warren gallery in Chicago, and has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally, with her work being found in the permanent collections of many major museums. Fox has received grants from the New Jersey Council on the Arts, the Barbara Deming Memorial Foundation, the Mid Atlantic Art Foundation, a Willem Emil Cresson Award, and a New Jersey Print and Paper Fellowship at the Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper.<br /><br />Carson Fox works and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Her teaching experience includes Harvard University, New York University, Rutgers University, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before joining the faculty at Adelphi University. Carson Fox has lectured widely on printmaking and sculpture across the United States and abroad.<br /><br />In an artist statement, Fox writes the following excerpt of her work. “By nature, printmaking lends itself well to the investment of labor, and my current prints support this edict, while stylistically referring to Victorian wood engravings. By scanning original images and extensively retooling them in Photoshop, I create bucolic landscapes of birds, butterflies, and flowers using the tropes of beauty, yet expressing an undercurrent of anxiety in the excesses and the crowding of the compositions. To compound this feeling, I have manipulated a number of these images by piercing them with thousands of holes, suggesting invisible routes made visible, a tangible history of my own industry, while transforming the paper into a lacy map. Other intaglio, screen print, and lithographic prints employ multiple layers of color printing, and were originally inspired in their use of straightforward, declarative text by illustration captions in the moralistic, “Royal Path of Life,” published in 1881.”SUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-32260303806439485182008-02-28T10:28:00.000-08:002008-11-24T10:31:17.931-08:00Printmaking Alum Dylan McManus Recognized<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSryk99D-cI/AAAAAAAAAFI/B9xF83zEBOw/s1600-h/NowArtbiennial.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSryk99D-cI/AAAAAAAAAFI/B9xF83zEBOw/s400/NowArtbiennial.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272293030710475202" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Printmaking Alum Dylan McManus recognized for the following international exhibitions:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />"Now Art Now Future 2nd International Lithuanian Print Biennial", Solo Exhibition entitled "Let Us Eat Cakes", May 8th - June 8th, Kuanas Print Gallery, Kuanas, Lithuania<br /><br />"Objetivos Moviles/ Moving Targets", public intervention on Friday February 29th, Proyecto'Ace, Buenos Aires, Argentina<br /><br />"Experiencing the War in Iraq", March 6 - March 30, Machines and Magnets, Pawtucket RI, and April 5 - May 3 at the Narrows Center for the Arts, Fall River, MASUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-38373529467419706632007-12-05T16:49:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:42:51.377-08:00Art Critic Dr. Jeanette Zwingenberger visits SUNY New Paltz<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSS4xoI7aLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/R_Q4BzKqFmM/s1600-h/zwingenberger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 222px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSS4xoI7aLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/R_Q4BzKqFmM/s400/zwingenberger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270540626658289842" border="0" /></a><br />Curator, critic and author, Dr. Jeanette Zwingenberger will present a lecture titled <em>The Human Landscape</em> – the artistic visions of anthropomorphic landscapes as a dialogue between historical and contemporary artworks, exploring embodiment and the interaction between the human body and the natural environment.<br /><p>Dr. Zwingenberger has organized several related exhibitions including <em>Human-Landscape: Artistic Visions of Anthropomorphic Landscapes;</em> and <em>Transformations – Bodyspaces</em>.

Much of his work is politically and socially charged, as well as celebratory. His portraits of famous African-American individuals including Ida B.Wells, John Coltrane, Angela Davis, Toni Morrison and many more, become altars or open street stalls, overflowing with books, plants, portraits, and other objects associated with each cultural icon. A more personal iconographic figure present in his work is “grandma” – a matriarchal figure surrounded by medications, a girdle, vitamins, therapeutic shoes, jewelry, and needlepoint – an inventory of objects and a document of attitudes suggestive of grandmothers in African American life.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">With a desire to expose his work to a larger audience, Cook-Dizney creates works in high-traffic public spaces like construction site fences, and abandoned buildings in Harlem and Brooklyn. Armed with spray enamel, he paints socio/political images on visible surfaces in an effort to provoke dialogue.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">In another aspect of his work, Cook-Dizney provides a voice for community residents through social collaborations installed in neighborhoods where participants live. In public spaces, he and his collaborators bring art to a wide audience that does not always frequent museums and galleries. His partnership with some Harlem residents produced 10 Development/Gentrification installations. “It’s about giving people a voice, empowering marginalized communities," explains the artist.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Brett Cook-Dizney received a B.A. in art from the University of California at Berkley. He has been exhibiting his work at museums and galleries since 1991. His public projects have been executed in cities from California to Maine, and internationally in Brazil, and Barbados. Some have been commissioned by museums or public agencies while others have been self-initiated interventions on abandoned spaces. He has received a number of awards including several grants from ArtMatters, and the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, as well as residencies at Skowhegan School and the Studio Museum in Harlem. He is represented by PPOW Gallery.</span>SUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-13144514687970308482006-04-14T10:46:00.000-07:002008-11-24T10:50:07.295-08:00New Paltz Art Professor Receives Chancellor's Award for Excellence<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr2ml-bk2I/AAAAAAAAAF4/gdc5-fim29U/s1600-h/events_clip_image002.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 95px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr2ml-bk2I/AAAAAAAAAF4/gdc5-fim29U/s400/events_clip_image002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272297456680014690" /></a><br />Rimer Cardillo, professor and chair of the printmaking program at the State University of New York at New Paltz, was recently awarded the State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence for Scholarship and Creative Activities.<br /><br />Cardillo is a printmaker who, during the past 25 years, has developed a diverse and multi-media practice that also includes sculptures, ceramics and installations. Very focused and deeply informed about the pressures facing indigenous peoples, cultures and environments in Latin and South America, he has conducted a number of research trips to the Brazilian rain forest and other endangered and compromised sites to study possible subjects.<br /><br />Cardillo, who arrived at New Paltz in 1993, received his master's degree from Uruguay's National School of Fine Arts in Montevideo, and spent two years studying in East Germany at the Weissenssee School of Art and Architecture in Berlin and at the School of Printmaking and Art of the Book in Leipzig.

Cardillo has had numerous national and international exhibitions, and was selected to represent Uruguay at the 2001 Venice Biennial.<br /><br />"The Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in full-time librarianship, professional service and teaching provide much-deserved university-wide recognition of extraordinary professional achievement," said SUNY Chancellor John R. Ryan. "I commend this year's recipients and the campus presidents, faculty and staff who aid and support them in their success throughout the school year."<br /><br />Cardillo, who was also a recipient of the 2006 State University of New York Research Foundation Research and Scholarship Award in April, will be recognized for his Chancellor's Award for Excellence this Sunday at the May 21 Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony.SUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-20203296444329840302005-12-02T10:44:00.000-08:002008-11-24T10:45:32.716-08:00Dennis O'Neil visits SUNY New Paltz<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr2IdKT9MI/AAAAAAAAAFw/bZByXIaihog/s1600-h/dennis2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr2IdKT9MI/AAAAAAAAAFw/bZByXIaihog/s400/dennis2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272296938917852354" /></a><br />Dennis O’Neil, an innovative, inspiring artist from Alexandria, VA and founder of Handprint Workshop International presented a cutting-edge silkscreen workshop in the SUNY Printmaking Department in December 2005.<br /><br />Visiting Artist Denis O'NeilHe showed students how to create topographical prints upon which they could use painterly techniques applying a mixture of cold wax and oil paint.

Printmaker, sculptor, and photographer - Matilde Marin has been invited to give a presentation on her work on Wednesday, November 9, 2005, at 7:30 p.m., in Lecture Center 102, at the State University of New York at New Paltz.<br /><br />Trained as a sculptor, Marín has worked for many years as a printmaker, and more recently she has incorporated photography, video, and digital imagery into her work.<br /><br />Her work ranges from obscure portraits to recollections and hand games. In Itineraries, an assemblage of photographs documenting the artist's shadow over the course of several years, in different locations throughout the world, her shadow appears in areas of photographs revealing relevant<br />elements from places she visited. These "portraits" or personal markings serve as a diary of her journeys. The work speaks of a nomadic life, and the photographs constitute a travel journal that's both visual and personal.<br /><br />Other projects include First Games, where hands are portrayed and intervened with the artist's drawings, appearing to contain traces of hopscotch lines or a field for a game whose rules only Marín is familiar with.<br /><br />Marin's projects have been exhibited at The Bronx Museum of Arts in NYC; the Museum of Contemporary Art, and Museum of Fine Arts both in Brazil; Museum of Fine Art in Chile, National Library of Mexico City, Museum of Contemporary Art in Venezuela amongst others.SUNY New Paltz Printmaking Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200336129373580354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542383061928446432.post-3654259940425605112005-03-09T10:37:00.000-08:002008-11-24T10:40:44.108-08:00Artist, Printmaker, and Scholar Alicia Candiani visits SUNY New Paltz<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr05V_64gI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2He0iMReJJw/s1600-h/823_candiani.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSNqTtDjRxI/SSr05V_64gI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2He0iMReJJw/s400/823_candiani.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272295579785552386" /></a><br />As a guest of the Art Lecture Series, Argentinean artist, printmaker, and scholar Alicia Candiani, presented her work at SUNY New Paltz in March 2005.
