Miniare: 2004
http://www.manly.nsw.gov.au/content.aspx?PageID=462&ItemID=47
Miniare: International Mini Print Exhibition 30 July - 16 August 2004
The Manly Art Gallery & Museum presents Miniare, to be opened by Director Therese Kenyon on Friday 30 July at 6pm. One hundred and thirty-one small prints by some of the best known printmakers in Australia and Canada form this exhibition.
The prints, each only 18 x 18cm, were part of the second Biennale of the Quebec Printmaking Council shown in Montreal in 2002. Anthea Boesenberg was asked to present a showcase of Australian prints for the event, and she has gathered together prints from all over Australia, including work from the remote Aboriginal community of Ernabella in South Australia.
To add to these, prints were selected by Therese Kenyon (Director, Manly Art Gallery & Museum) and Michael Kempson from work submitted for consideration by artists Australia wide. Artists include: G.W. Bot, Judy Bourke, Adam Cullen, Nicholas Harding, Roslyn Kean, Deborah Klein, Craigh Marsden, Ron McBurnie, Nyuwara Tapaya and Carol Williams.
‘ The miniature print may have all the qualities that we find so attractive in larger work – velvety lines, soft veils of transparent colour, sedu The impact however, can be more tangible because the viewer has a more intimate and focussed relationship with each piece. The work selected to showcase the Australian printmaking for the second Miniare is evidence of the important position that the miniature holds in printmaking. The prints have been created using both traditional and alternative print media, the only truly common feature being their size.' Anthea Bosenberg.
'Why does the miniature print make such an impression, fascinate so much?
Possibly, because the very constraints of size demand skill and, often, virtuosity.
A small print demands proximity. The format's smallness requires a vision that is quite rare, a dense examination, an intense relationship between the print and the eye.' (Serge Wagner)
In Canada, the work was shown in Montreal, and Australian artist Dianne Longley won a prize awarded by the Australian High Commission.
Other prize winners represented include Claire Lemay and Maria Chronopooulos of Canada.

build your own Etching Press
Welcome!
This site is a little project that began a few years back. It's purpose is to provide information to Intaglio printmakers wishing to build their own Etching Press. Here you will find info and plans for building your press. The link above Gallery of presses built By Others will show you some examples of what you can accomplish with these plans and a little willpower
The plans provide all the details needed to build three different types of presses, a hand operated chain drive, a hand operated gear driven one for the purist and a motor driven one for the lazy.
The only work you will have to do, is build a bench for it and bolt the pieces together. A machine shop will fabricate a few of the parts for you the rest of the parts can be purchased from a Gear Supply Company.
If you have any questions and I'm sure you will, I ask that you check the FAQ section before contacting me, the answer might be posted there as well as some answers to questions you might not have thought of.
We also have a bulletin board set up so you can ask questions or provide reflections on your experience as you take this journey to Pressdom! It is my hope that those that have reached the magic kingdom might share some of the wisdom they gained with other just starting the journey. I don't have a great deal of time to contribute to this myself but will add the occasional tidbit. There has been some good stuff put on there all ready!
So enough talk feel free to explore the site and I hope to meet you on the road to Pressdom!

Lorna Simpson
Lorna Simpson, a comprehensive survey of the multi-faceted work of one of the leading artists working in the United States today, will be on view at the Miami Art Museum from October 5, 2006 until February 4, 2007. The exhibition is organized by the American Federation of Arts (AFA) and curated by AFA Adjunct Curator Helaine Posner.
October 5, 2006 - February 4, 2007
http://www.afaweb.org
Lorna Simpson first became well known in the mid-1980s for her large-scale photograph and text works that confront and challenge conventional views of gender, identity, culture, history, and memory. In the mid-1990s, she began creating large multi-panel photographs printed on felt that depict the sites of public—yet unseen—sexual encounters. More recently, she has turned to moving images. In film and video works such as Call Waiting, Simpson presents individuals engaged in intimate and enigmatic yet elliptical conversations that elude easy interpretation but seem to address the mysteries of both identity and desire.
