New Collaborations at Highpoint Editions
Highpoint Editions is pleased to announce its recent collaboration with Mexican artist Carlos Amorales. HP Artistic Director and Master Printer Cole Rogers met Amorales in 2008, during a trip to Mexico City. Amorales’ Highpoint prints — which feature enigmatic groupings of his signature silhouettes — are a natural continuation of the artist’s previous work across such disciplines as sculpture, painting, dance, and music. For over a decade, Amorales has been gathering images of men, women, monkeys, skulls, airplanes, spiderwebs and other curiosities. He pulls the images from books, magazines, photographs and the Internet and simplifies their shapes through the process of rotoscoping, a technique used in early animation. The resulting set of imagery, which Amorales calls his Liquid Archive, has grown to include more than 1,500 digital drawings and provides the source material for his fascinating, cross-disciplinary practice. Highpoint will exhibit Amorales’ prints in a show scheduled for early 2010.
HIGHPOINT EDITIONS: Recent Publications:
In 2008, five artists, Santiago Cucullu, Rob Fischer, Adam Helms, Lisa Nankivil, and Jessica Rankin, all produced works in collaboration with Highpoint Editions. Since Highpoint’s 2001 inaugural publication of David Rathman’s Five New Etchings, it has released a steady stream of limited edition prints; the prints of 2008 enrich this highly regarded body of work.
And 2009 is gearing up to be another great year with a new collaboration with Mexican artist Carlos Amorales as well as teaming up for new projects with Todd Norsten, Lisa Nankivil, Adams Helms, and Santiago Cucullu.
