Upcoming Exhibitions & Events 2020
October 3 - November 1, 2020
Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss: Zea Mays Printmaking Studio
Zea Mays Printmaking Studio is participating (2020-21) in a collective
global art project, Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss. Extraction
is “a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that will
investigate extractive industry in all of its forms from mining and
drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life,
and other natural resources” (https://www.extractionart.org/home).
ZMP is a community dedicated to the safest and most sustainable
printmaking practices available. While we are continually researching
new ways to improve, the fact is that artists work with materials that
are the result of extractive processes, e.g., copper plates, pigments,
water, and more. Additionally, ZMP artists have a deep-rooted
connection with the natural world as subject matter. What are we
taking from the earth and what are we putting back when we make art? This exhibition will employ printmaking to conduct investigations of extraction—its forms and its consequences, including its effect on art making and human life. We seek to be part of the global“international art ruckus” that addresses the problem of natural resource exploitation.
The A.P.E.show will launch the ZMP Extraction Project and is part of a larger global project that will include presentations at multiple venues over the 2020-2021 time period.
