Collaborative Histories: Dieu Donn\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>co-curated by John Caperton<\/strong>, Jensen Bryan Curator at The Print Center and Cynthia Nourse Thompson<\/strong>, Director of the MFA Book Arts and Studio Art MFA Programs, The University of The Arts, Philadelphia, brings together both unique and editioned works created at Dieu Donn\u00e9<\/strong>, an organization that makes art using the process of hand-papermaking.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1976, the New York-based Dieu Donn\u00e9 is unique for its intensive and inventive focus on handmade paper. It is also renowned for its embrace of collaboration and experimentation between artists and their highly skilled studio technicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollaboration and experimentation are essential to introducing artists from all practices to a medium that is new to them and to helping these artists realize unexpected and innovative outcomes in their work. Our studio collaborators work side by side with each artist in the wet studio, and encourage and support an artist's experimentation. In turn, each artist challenges us to try new things and develop new approaches to meet their goals. A truly reciprocal and rewarding give-and-take.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

About Dieu Donn\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to commissioning new works by contemporary artists, Dieu Donn\u00e9 fulfills its mission through offering exhibitions, public programs and educational activities.<\/p>\n

By the Book Vol. 2: New Photography Publications <\/em><\/strong>is The Print Center\u2019s second exhibition dedicated to a selection of new photography publications and the artworks that inspired them. By the Book: New Photography, <\/em>the first in this series, was presented in 2016. The artists \u2014 Saleem Ahmed<\/strong>, Tim Carpenter<\/strong>, Julianna Foster<\/strong>, Nicholas Muellner<\/strong> and Public Collectors<\/strong>, whose work is on display in this exhibition, have compiled images into books which serve widely varied purposes and interests.<\/p>\n

\"What brings all of these artists together is their focus on exploring the relationship between seemingly opposing themes, for example, the relationship between documentation and fiction, text and image, or the personal and universal. Some take on other juxtapositions, such as space vs. place, racial stereotyping vs. personal histories, or the uses of printed information vs. digital information. Each of the books is paired with other works by the artist, showing how the artists\u2019 printed (or virtual) works relate to their publication.\"<\/em><\/p>\n
