Altered Environments / Tidalectics: April Flanders, Guest Curator

Dec 2, 2022 - May 6, 2023

Eveline Kolijn

Altered Environmentscurated by April Flanders, is a printmaking portfolio responding to the issue of marine bio invasions. The portfolio includes 23 national and international artists from diverse backgrounds, utilizing a wide range of styles and print techniques. Marine bio invasions are the conceptual starting place for these prints, which will be prominently exhibited at the 11th International Marine Bioinvasions Conference in Annapolis, MD in 2023. Aquatic invasive species are a true threat to biodiversity around the world. Artists were encouraged to consider the many ecosystems that are currently under threat from marine bioinvaders.

Marilee Salvator

My work is an examination of the natural world through the lens of micro-biology; I search for structural commonalities between invasive plants in ecosystems and invasive disease in the human body. At the same time, I am invested in combining and applying historical and non-traditional approaches to printmaking, specifically print-installation and repetitive mark-making, to push the boundaries of printmaking into what has developed into an expanded field. I create modules to build installations or to make unique prints by combining printing plates in different sequences, creating one of a kind works of art.

Tidalectics

Tidalectics, organized by Dutch-Canadian artist Eveline Kolijn, is an art-science portfolio based around an experiment to create an oceanic worldview. Ten international printmakers collaborated with marine biology researchers to create a print based on the research from the scientist for the portfolio. Here is a link to a YouTube video with images and information about each of the prints.
