Homebody: New Prints 2020/Winter Opening Reception

INTERNATIONAL PRINT CENTER NEW YORK (IPCNY) is pleased to present Homebody: New Prints 2020/Winter, an exhibition featuring 31 artists from Australia, Canada, Portugal, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States whose work explores relationships between personal and domestic structures. IPCNY’s New Prints Program is a biannual, juried open call for prints and print-based work that captures current voices and issues in contemporary printmaking.

Throughout the jurying process, Ariana Barat, Gregory Burnet, Orit Mardkha-Tenzer, and Keris Salmon were collectively drawn to works that played with themes of domesticity and place. Burnet noted his affinity for “things we see all the time but maybe become too used to,” including landscapes, domestic interiors, furniture, utensils, and even pets.

From the jury’s selections, a question arises: what makes these mundane spaces, objects, and relationships unique to an individual’s experience? In Homebody, both homes and bodies serve as sites where individual memories can ruminate and grow, shaping personal perspectives on our surroundings and the world. These banal but necessary objects and dwellings, and the ways we interact and depend on them, shape our understanding of ourselves and of each other. Stella Ebner’s Cricket, Glass & Business Reply Mail depicts an unexpected view of a kitchen floor, forming an abstraction of domestic space, and Evgenia Kim’s Koryo Saram co-mingles textiles and traditions from her Uzbek, Korean, and Russian heritages as a path to defining her identity between diasporas.

The six awardees of the New Prints Artist Development Program will be announced at the opening reception on January 16. Visit ipcny.org/homebody for up-to-date information on Public Programs, including Pint n’ Print workshops with our Artists-in-Residence and a series of Artist Talks.

ARTISTS: Annie Bissett, Mandy Bonnell, Susanne Dagmar Olsen, Stella Ebner, Jomo Falconer, Fidencio Fifield-Perez, Olivia Fredricks, J. Leigh Garcia, Emily Gui, Robert Hague, Hanni Huang, Evgenia Kim, David Lopes, Linda Mahoney, Michelle Martin, Michael Menchaca, Carol Montgomery, Senem Oezdogan, Ben Potter, Kristin Powers Nowlin, Tammy Ratcliff, Mark Rice, Red Sagalow, Julia Samuels, Margo Sarkisova, Peri Schwartz, Susan Siegel, Alma Sinai, Judy Talley, Imin Yeh, and Haoyun Erin Zhao.
