February 28 – May 17, 2008  
The Road Not Taken: Orit Hofshi
Etchings & Drypoints 2005-2008: Bill Scott
The Philadelphia Etchings: Janet Towbin

These exhibitions bring together the work of three celebrated printmakers. The works by Israeli artist Orit Hofshi are epically scaled woodcuts of isolated figures in desolate landscapes. (Orit Hofshi’s exhibition is co-sponsored by the Consulate General of Israel, Philadelphia, as part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel.) Bill Scott, known for his lyrical abstract paintings, will be represented by a new series of etchings never before exhibited. Janet Towbin’s etchings feature repeating, virtually obsessive patterns.

The Print Center’s Artists-in-Schools Program brings art education and awareness to underserved young people in The Philadelphia Public School System, while increasing their self esteem and encouraging them to think more expansively about their lives and the world around them.

Sun Pictures and Other Broken Images: Richard Torchia
Richard Torchia’s
site-specific installation fills The Print Center’s second floor galleries with ephemeral images made by capturing and redirecting various light sources—the sun, a candle or electric light—through lenses or a pinhole to create projections of the outside inside the galleries. Torchia has transformed the galleries into multiple camera obscurae; the oldest photographic device.

Infinitely Visible:
Infinitely Visible combines two poles of the infinite: the atomic and the cosmic. Mike Stifel's prints based on the movement of subatomic particles will be presented in combination with Robert Asman's photographs of clouds and the celestial activity beyond them. Both artists visualize key elements of our universe which we have yet to fully understand. Infinitely Visible is part of The Big Nothing, a Philadelphia-wide project exploring ideas of nothing and nothingness, initiated by the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.

Opening reception for Lesley Dill's Multiple Impressions

Lesley Dill's work is characterized by the complex interweaving of a wide range of materials, image and text; she combines the word with the image, the fragile with the indestructible, the handmade with the computer-generated. Using the body or its surrogate, clothing, in concert with the written verse (notably by Emily Dickinson), Dill seeks to collapse the distinction between the physicality of the human body and the conceptuality of language. Her work is often composed of delicate layers, which alludes to the fragility of the human condition.

In the pictorial tradition of the "Totentanz" or the "Dance of Death" the figure of death seduces the living to the world beyond the grave through dance. In Debra Werblud's installation, the predator and prey are respectively the vultures which feed on decay and olive trees that nourish life. However, as the viewer enters into the room and walks through the installation you become a part of the dance. Depending on the viewer's position, you either become the vultures' victim or a destructing force to the trees. Werblud questions-but not accusingly-our capability for evil as well as our own vulnerability.

Based in South Korea, Young-Sook Jang creates minimalist landscapes with simple lines and small patches of color. Her intaglio prints capture the true essence of nature: its simplicity and complexity, seduction and menace, vulnerability and impenetrability, and the endless cycle of life and decay.

The Digital Mural Project is a unique collaboration between The Print Center and The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program to create Philadelphia's first digitally-printed, building-sized, outdoor artist murals on fabric. In fall 2001, four artists were selected through a national competition process to conduct residencies in three Philadelphia schools: The Masterman School, Central High School, and the Charter High School for Architecture and Design (CHAD). Selected artists Caroline Bitterman and Peter Duka (Berlin, Germany), Peggy Diggs (Williamstown, MA), and Laurence Salzmann (Philadelphia, PA) conducted intensive residencies in digital printing, design and mural-making with more than 100 students and community members. The digital murals will be installed in 2003.
