IOWA Biennial of miniature prints

The Iowa Biennial Exhibition at The University of Iowa, July-September 2004.

Beginning January 1, 2006, The Iowa Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Miniature Prints, begins accepting entries for submissions of the 2006 edition. For current details and information visit the 2006 Exhibitions site or click here.

The purpose of the Iowa Biennial Exhibition is to both introduce the public to contemporary prints from around the world while enlarging the collection of works within the Iowa Biennial Exhibition Archive and making them available for academic research, museums, artists, and print students alike. While works within the research archives can never be sold, they will be used to promote a greater awareness of the uniqueness and beauty of the print and print mediums.

The Iowa Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Miniature Prints 2006 will initially be exhibited at Kirkwood College’s Nielsen Hall Gallery and The University of Iowa’s Project Art Gallery and thereafter will become an international traveling exhibition for a period of up to two years. Additional venues for travel and exhibition are currently being considered and scheduled.

All jury-selected works are retained by The Iowa Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Miniature Prints while all works submitted are retained within The Iowa Biennial Exhibition Archive.

William Kentridge

Still from William Kentridge's film installation in the Italian pavilion, Venice 2005

"One of the fascinating things about William Kentridge's films is how they let the process show. Because he draws, shoots, erases and shoots again to create his imagery - rather than painting animation cells or digitally developing scenes - I am conscious of his means, even his touch. It was Kentridge's genius to show how the directness of drawing could survive the indirectness of a camera-based art."
- from "William Kentridge" by Janet Koplos, Art in America, December, 2000

gregkucera's print listing

I have never tried to make illustrations of apartheid, but the drawings and films are certainly spawned by and feed off the brutalized society left in its wake. I am interested in a political art, that is to say an art of ambiguity, contradiction, uncompleted gestures, and certain endings; an art (and a politics) in which optimism is kept in check and nihilism at bay.
— William Kentridge

reviews


FREUD'S BODY EGO OR MEMORABILIA OF GRIEF
is a psychoanalytic study of the work of artists William Kentridge and Lucian Freud. It draws on the major exhibitions of the past decades together with interviews and includes over one hundred and fifty images in colour. There are also photographs of recent work from William Kentridge's studios in NYC and Johannesburg. The text has a coda on Barnett Newman. Sigmund Freud's letters on art (with previously untranslated passages) appear together with a focus on his clinical and theoretical writings on fetishism. Major European writers like Arendt, Balzac, Beckett, Pessoa, Rilke, Svevo, Tolstoy, Varnhagen, and Zweig, among others, constitute the intellectual horizon.
