GLOBAL MATRIX II An International Two-Year Traveling Print Exhibition  January 8 - February 18, 2007 Robert L. Ringel Gallery, Purdue Memorial Union and Stewart Center Gallery, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN  From its humble origins as simple relief rubbings or patterns stamped onto paper and cloth, the art of the print has spread to all corners of the globe, growing and developing conceptually as a result of the contributions of an ever-growing circle of international artists. By drawing and manipulating an image matrix, they have utilized the essence of the multiple to explore the varied possibilities of image, color and repetition. The proliferation of multiple images around the world has led to a shared culture of appreciation. Styles and techniques identified with particular printmaking enclaves in various parts of the world can readily be seen now in the works of artists with different languages and different cultures, separated by thousands of miles. This exhibit presents a contemporary review of fine art printmaking in all media from around the world. The first installment of the exhibit was presented at the Purdue University Galleries and six other venues from 2002 - 2004. Following a review of submissions by more than 565 artists from 53 countries, GLOBAL MATRIX II features a total of 88 works representing 75 individual artists from 24 countries around the world. It is intended that after its initial presentations in the Purdue University Galleries, the exhibition will travel through 2009. Work was selected for the exhibition by: Kimberly Vito, assistant professor of Art and Art History at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio; Kathryn Reeves, professor of Art and Design at Purdue University; and Craig Martin, director of Purdue University Galleries. Joining them this year will be Sean Caulfield, Associate Professor of Art & Design at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Traveling Exhibition Bookings for the traveling exhibition of "Global Matrix II" are now being accepted. Rental fee: $1,000 per venue, to be applied to the cost of producing a full-color printed catalogue of the exhibition.
