THE CONSTRUCTED SPHERE:
SCULPTURAL PRINTMAKERS TAP THE THIRD DIMENSION
Friday March 20, 12:00-1:30pm, Salon 200 BC

This INKubator Session invites participation from printmakers whose interests lie in producing extra-dimensional works. Expanding the confines of the flat picture plane, sculptural printmakers explore the opportunities presented by printmaking processes, print imagery, paper and alternate materials to produce three-dimensional objects. In the Constructed Sphere, prints exist on the border of two- and three-dimensional space, embracing the history, tradition and process of print, while bending and distorting the flat image into something entirely new and different. From large-scale collaborative woodcut print sculptures to small cut-and-fold etched models, extra-dimensional works are pushing the role of the print beyond its traditional boundaries, conveying both line and volume, depth and flatness. While book forms represent an aspect of 3D prints, this session is focused on examining other manifestations of the 3D print. Participants in this INKubator Session will meet each other, share their work, and discuss strategies for dealing with problems associated with scale, structure, materials, shipping and more. They will have the opportunity to make connections and initiate collaborative projects that can bring this dynamic art form to the attention of the printmaking community and a wider public
