Works on Paper Series, Part II: Prints
from the Center for Innovative Print and Paper at Rutgers University and
Normal Editions Workshop at Illinois State University
The Tweed Museum of Art, University
of Minnesota Duluth is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition
featuring a variety of original prints created at two university-affiliated
print studios. "Works on Paper Series, Part II: Prints from the Center
for Innovative Print and Paper at Rutgers University and Normal Editions
Workshop at Illinois State University" opens January 18, 1999 and continues
through April 2, 2000.
Established
in 1987, the Center for Innovative Print and Paper is affiliated with Rutger's
University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and is the only professional printmaking
facility in the state. Reflected in the prints on view in the Tweed exhibition
is the Center's focus on women artists and artists of color, who are invited
there to collaborate with its professional printers. Normal Editions Workshop
(N.E.W.) is located in Normal, Illinois and is affiliated with Illinois
State University. Since its inception in 1976, N.E.W. has functioned as
a professional printmaking studio, working with artists from the midwest
and from around the country. The selection of prints from N.E.W. in the
Tweed exhibition were created by nationally-known artists whose work was
exhibited at University Galleries at Illinois State University, including
Kiki Smith, Dennis Oppenheim, David Wojnarowicz and Kenny Scharf. Shown
together, the works from these two presses represent a variety of printmaking
techniques, as well as a wide range of contemporary themes, subjects and
imagery. Prints in the 
exhibition will be available for sale to the public.

The year 2000 marks the 50th Year Anniversary of the Tweed
Museum of Art. The Works on Paper Series is comprised of five exhibitions
featuring works on paper, including works created at presses around the
country, and works from Tweed's permanent collections. In the context of
its 50th Anniversary, these shows highlight the significant role that prints
and other works on paper have had and continue to have in building the outstanding
collections of historical and contemporary art the Tweed Museum of Art holds
in trust for the public. (right: David Hodges, Study for a Farmer
