January 29 - April 11, 2010
Multiple Galleries
The Galleries at Moore were one of five venues presenting the exhibition, The Graphic Unconscious in conjunction with Philagrafika 2010, Philadelphia’s international festival celebrating the print in contemporary art. Drawing upon Moore’s 160 year-long tradition of focus on the fine and applied arts of textile design, graphic design, interior architecture and fashion, Moore College of Art & Design was transformed by five major site-specific installations created by internationally-known artists who employ printmaking in patterning and ornamentation. The selection of works on view at Moore delved into the renewed interest in incorporating and investigating the potentials of using printmaking strategies found in patterning, wallpaper, and fabrics in contemporary practice. Artists: Gunilla Klingberg (Sweden); Virgil Marti (Philadelphia); Paul Morrison (London); Betsabeé Romero (Mexico); and Regina Silveira (Brazil).
