Video and Review of Carroll Dunham's Print Exhibition at UAlbany Art Museum


From "Twisted Genesis" by Meisha Rosenberg, published in METROLAND this week, reviewing "Carroll Dunham Prints: A Survey"

"...A lot of earlier prints (such as Places and Things, a linoleum-cut series from the early 1990s, and Shadows, drypoints) portray bodily landscapes where spaceship-like earthworks grow phalluses and cells in trippy colors. Figures start to emerge, though, and in The Sun, a digital print with intaglio from 2000-01, primitive cartoon characters chase each other with weapons in a white ring around the yellow orb....

....The organizers of the exhibition emphasize the extent to which Dunham’s prints have influenced his paintings and drawings, and vice versa. What comes across, too, is the pliability of printmaking as a medium and the weird and wonderful worlds it can open up."
