Kevin Murphy Attends Printmaking Workshop at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts

kevinmurphyKevin Murphy, professor of history of art, participated in a two-week printmaking workshop (August 12-24) at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Deer Isle, Maine. The workshop, “Lasting a Day, Forever: Screen Print & Ephemera,” was led by Emily Arthur, a printmaker who teaches at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and incorporates found ephemeral imagery into her art. She works with zoologists and botanists to elucidate the craft and knowledge-based disciplines of art and science at this moment when both are being distorted and devalued.

“Considering the history of ephemera, as well as its presence in contemporary art,” said Murphy, “the workshop was an ideal complement to the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities year-long interdisciplinary faculty seminar (The World of Print(s): Multiples and Meanings in Early Modern Europe and North America) that Mark Hosford and I are leading this year, and in which Rebecca VanDiver is also participating.” The Warren Center will host the 2018-2019 Faculty Fellows Program to explore the significance of printed words and images in Early Modern Europe and North America.
