The Print Center is proud to be a partner of Philagrafika
2010, an international festival that celebrates the role
of print as a vital force in contemporary art. Set to be one
of the largest arts events in the United States, Philagrafika
2010 will showcase the work of more than 300 artists and will
unite 88 Philadelphia art institutions, including the five
core venues: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, Moore College of Art & Design, Temple
Gallery, Tyler School of Art, Temple University along with
The Print Center. The Print Center will serve as the hub of
Philagrafika 2010's activities.
The Print Center will host a diverse roster of artists and
collectives. The Philadelphia artists' collective Space 1026
has turned the main gallery into a lounge/reading room/meeting
space. Centered on the idea of creating community through
production, the exhibition addresses how artists have used
printmaking to access a broad audience and disseminate their
work widely. The Print Center will include an interactive
printed system by Mexican artist Erick Beltrán; as
well as editions, publications, videos and programs by Eric
Avery (US), Bittercomix (South Africa), Sue Coe (UK), Julius
Deutschbauer (Austria), Dexter Sinister (US), Dispatch (US),
Drive By Press (US), Eloísa Cartonera (Argentina),
Art Hazelwood (US), Jenny Schmid (US), Self Help Graphics
& Art (US) and Temporary Services (US).
