Fall 2024 Curricular Framework: Collaboration
In the fall of 2024, curricula responded to The Print Center’s exhibition: ULAE: Prints for a New Generation. The show featured work created at Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) – a renowned printmaking studio in Bay Shore, NY, by nine leading contemporary American artists with a focus on the 1980s and 90s. The exhibited works represented two waves of artists who invited to collaborate with ULAE by as well as a spotlight on the ongoing collaboration between ULAE and the multidisciplinary artist Kiki Smith. The artists were: Carroll Dunham, Jane Hammond, Bill Jensen, Julian Lethbridge, Suzanne McClelland, Elizabeth Murray, Susan Rothenberg and Terry Winters. Themes from the exhibition that inspired AISP participants included: Collaboration, Multi-Disciplinary Approaches and Abstraction and Figuration.
Spring 2025 Curricular Framework: What Does It Mean To Be “American”
In spring 2025, AISP curricula responded to the three solo shows awarded from The Print Center’s 99th ANNUAL International Competition: Alanna Airitam: Black Diamonds: The Black Outlaw Bikers,William Camargo: The Sense of Brown and Juana Estrada Hernández: !Echale Ganas! These shows explored each artist’s experience living in the United States as persons of color. The prints and photographs by Airitam, Camargo and Estrada Hernández confront myriad American myths through: powerful portraits of Black motorcyclists; performative interventions into the landscape; and recreated scenes of the immigrant experience. Themes from the exhibition that inspired AISP participants included: What it Means to be American and Visual Storytelling.
