A
meeting of two great campuses, the University of California at Santa Cruz
and San Jose State University, in the "Highway 17 Express: Multiple Runs"
exhibition, opening at Works Gallery in San Jose on October 2nd promises to
be the beginning of something big. During the past several decades Bay Area
university art departments have celebrated the genius of several mainstream
artists includi
ng
printmakers Patrick Surgalski, Erin Goodwin-Guerrero, Paul Rangell, Kay Metz,
and Richard Wohlfeiler.
Works Gallery continues that celebration with
a landmark printmaking exhibition between two major Bay Area university campuses
linked by the Highway 17 Express bus route. The exhibition skillfully melds
the work of established faculty and alumni with the talent of emerging students.
In addition to linking two campuses, the "Highway 17 Express" exhibitionoffers
key speakers who will discuss historical printmaking techniques, postmodern
"anything goes" trends, and the future of digital printmaking and cyberspace.
In addition to the exhibition, the following
esteemed presenters will speak about printmaking practices and artists books.
This lecture will be hosted by San Jose State University Tuesday, October
14, 5:00-7:00 PM in Room 133, Art Building.
