About the exhibition:

Printmaking has long been associated with the replication of a single image—one message, unfettered, reaching as many as possible. But a printmaking practice is made up of the call-and-response of messages over time. It is these very contextual transformations that make up “Addenda - that which is added,” a group printmaking exhibition curated by artists Hester Stinnett and Katie Garth, proudly presented by Da Vinci Art Alliance.

The artists on view use a range of printmaking techniques to draw on deeply personal experiences. Artist Todd Stong’s painterly monotypes represent his experiences as a gay man. Hester Stinnett’s Riso prints draw from notes that her mother left as she progressed through a dementia process. Jason Patterson researches African American history and carefully recreates the historic documents that he finds to highlight the role the past has in cultivating our current political and social conditions. 

“Addenda—that which is added—implies taking responsive action, making a declaration, adjusting legibility; ideas that are key to the artmaking process,” Stinnett says of the task on view in each artist’s work. “Artists may accomplish this by revealing (or obscuring), by making something understandable (or not), while the essence remains.”

All the works on view in Addenda, including installations, prints, and artist books, are connected through purposeful actions taken by each artist to enhance perspective and encourage open-ended readings and understandings.

Addenda—that which is added will be on view in Gallery 1 at Da Vinci Art Alliance from March 4th to March 22nd. Setting the Record Straight: A Zine Making Workshop will take place on Sunday, May 3rd from 1:30—3:00pm.
