BREAKDOWN
Carrie Iverson
April Artist-In-Residence @ the de Young Museum
April 5, 2017 – April 30, 2017
Wednesdays–Sundays, 1–5 pm
Artist Reception: Saturday, April 29, 3–5 pm
Research has shown that each time we remember an event, that memory changes. Carrie Iverson is fascinated by the similarity between this phenomenon and the way mechanical reproduction can also progressively distort an image. Using these ideas as a starting point, she will create a series of prints of found broken/discarded objects in which she will use photocopying to evolve imagery. Iverson will create the prints in the gallery using a low budget form of lithography where a photocopy serves as the printing plate. “Breakdown” will also examine the idea of the archive as both an object and an action, repeatedly rearranging work and collaborating with the public in a variety of printmaking processes inspired by the Bay Area’s counterculture history.
Carrie Iverson is an Oakland-based printmaker and glass artist who often combines both media into multipart installations. She received her BA from Yale University and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is in private and public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago). She has taught at NorthLands Creative Glass (Scotland), GlassForum (Norway), and Creative Glass (Switzerland and UK), as well as private studios throughout the United States. Her current focus is adapting and translating her knowledge of printmaking processes into the glass medium through research and experimentation.
The Artist Studio program is made possible with major support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Museums for America program.
