ImMigration Project

This is a collaborative printmaking exhibition and installation asking artists to respond to the complicated and layered themes around migration as part of a unique visual exploration. There is no juror or jury to participate—just your artwork.

Each participating artist is asked to create a 15" right-angle triangular print. These triangles will be pieced together, regardless of orientation, to create one large mosaic print. This collaboration will explore creatively and visually in a conceptual dialogue on migration themes and ideas, interactions and interpretations, as the individual prints become part of the whole. Prints must be created using traditional printmaking techniques only—no digital prints or reproduction prints accepted. The project will be exhibited in Printmaking Conferences and Galleries and is sponsored by the Los Angeles Printmaking Society.

All prints must be the same size: 15" right-angle triangles with 21" on the long side (15"x15"x21", approximately 38cm x 53cm). Two triangles can easily be made from a 15" square paper or plate, and 4 triangular prints are possible from an average sized printmaking paper of 30"x20". Artist signatures should be on the back. Include a personal statement about your migration theme with your entry. Imagery may be abstract but should contain some reference to the theme of migration. Print to the corners with bleed prints only. Entry fee is $15.00. Participation entry deadline is September 6, 2019. Prints are due in Los Angeles by September 20, 2019 for Venice installation. Exhibition at SG Gallery in Venice runs October 3-30, 2019. All artists will be identified and listed as participants on an online resource dedicated to this ongoing collaborative project.
