(ASCI)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Digital'2000 Exhibition & "State of the Art: Digital Prints > panel discussion in NYC > >For Immediate Release (please distribute!) > >"State of the Art: Digital Prints" >an evening panel discussion (7-9pm) >produced by ASCI in conjunction with the >Opening Reception (5-7pm) of DIGITAL'2000 >ASCI's third annual international competition exhibition >June 28, at Central Fine Arts (212) 966-8836 >596 Broadway (just south of Houston St), New York City > >Digital images, no longer just "experiments" in Photoshop, are rapidly >becoming the medium-of-choice by both fine art photographers and >printmakers. Not that long ago, artists could make and view digital images >on their computer screens but had no way of printing out a product suitable >for collection or sale. Today, digital artists have many choices of print >output methods with image permanence that surpasses that of traditional >color photographs. Digital prints can be made in huge sizes, and on many >types of material. Recent technological innovations in improved ink-sets >and photo-quality printers have allowed fine art digital prints to share >the distinction of net.art as one of the newest media in the lexicon of >legitimate contemporary art (shown at museums). So new, that the Brooklyn >Museum's prestigious 26th National Print Biennial next year will be the >first such biennial exhibition to be devoted solely to the digital print! > >"State of the Art: Digital Prints" will examine important technical aspects >that artists should know about creating long-lasting digital prints with >Henry Wilhelm announcing surprising results of his recent testing that will >revolutionize fine art digital prints! In addition, the panel will explore >the issues that artists, museum curators, and gallery owners are dealing >with today. For instance: What criteria do museum curators use to decide >which department will collect a digital print, Photography or Prints and >Drawings? Are artists following strict copyright rules regarding >appropriation of images from other print media when creating digital >montage? How should digital images be reviewed by curators, at what >resolution is realistic? And are artists' homepages valuable for the >initial review process? Why do artists not know about longevity information >of the newest digital printers and ink-sets? Is this even important to >collectors? > >PANELISTS: > >Meghan Boody, artist, whose digital prints have been purchased by the >Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; > >Matthew Drutt, Curator in Media Arts, Guggenheim Museum, New York, who has >been following the impact of digital technology on photography; > >Marilyn Kushner, Curator of Prints & Drawings at the Brooklyn Museum of Art >whose National Print Biennial (invitational) in 2001 will solely be digital >prints; > >Cynthia Pannucci (moderator), ASCI Director, trained as a printmaker whose >prints were represented by the AAA Gallery, NYC and in national print >exhibitions; > >Michal Smith, owner-printmaker, Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints, Ltd.
