Ringgold / Saar: Meeting on the Matrix
Please join the Washington Print Club for a virtual tour of RINGGOLD | SAAR: Meeting on the Matrix, the latest exhibition at the David C Driskell Center of the University of Maryland, College park MD.
RINGGOLD | SAAR: Meeting on the Matrix features the print work of Faith Ringgold and Betye Saar, providing a window into the material and conceptual explorations at play in their distinct practices. Both artists have uniquely utilized the matrix—the printmaking surface which transfers ink onto paper or fabric—as a site of possibilities for experimentation, storytelling, and activism. The exhibition is the first time the works of the two artists are featured together in an exhibition devoted to print media. This exhibition was collaboratively curated by graduate students in the University of Maryland Department of Art History and Archaeology.
The online tour and discussion will be led by Cléa Massiani, a curator and art professional formally based in San Francisco, CA. She is the founder and co-director of Bass and Reiner Gallery, currently located at the Minnesota Street Project complex in San Francisco, a curatorial space dedicated to fostering dynamic dialogues in the Bay Area art scene and emerging artists. Massiani has curated and co-curated several exhibitions in museums and galleries and held professional art positions both in Europe and the United States. She holds a B.A. and M.A. in History and Art History from The Sorbonne University in Paris, France, and an M.A. in Exhibition and Museum Studies from the San Francisco Art Institute, San Francisco, CA. She now is a Ph.D student at the University of Maryland.
