Laura Roulet to Offer
Program at Baltimore Print Fair
Saturday, April 30, 3:30 pm
Independent curator Laura Roulet will interview artists Zorawar Sidhu and Rob Swainston, whose suite of eighteen color woodcuts, Doomscrolling, will be presented at the print fair by Catalyst Contemporary in association with Petzel Gallery. Sidhu and Swainston’s woodcuts debuted in New York in January to great acclaim. Hear about their process and passion for their subject: the political, social, and public health events and circumstances that have shaped the country in recent years.
A selection of woodcuts from Doomscrolling by Zorawar Sidhu and Rob Swainston are on view at the Baltimore Fine Art Print Fair in booth 108. The presentation by Catalyst Contemporary is in association with Petzel Gallery, New York.
Zorawar Sidhu and Rob Swainston are a collaborative art duo exploring the intersection of historical print processes and digital fabrication technology. Their projects investigate the complexities of contemporary social issues, drawing from the history of print as the medium par excellence of social movements.
Laura Roulet is an independent curator and writer specializing in contemporary, Latinx, and Latin American art. She has organized many exhibitions and programming including: Mothering in a World Turned Upside Down (Brentwood Arts Exchange); Landscape in an Eroded Field (American University Museum); Brian Reed: In the Crosscurrent (Huntington Museum of Art, WV); A Dark and Scandalous Rockfall (Mexican Cultural Institute); Come Back to Rockville! (VisArts, Rockville, MD); the National Drawing Invitational (Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock, AR); and Medios y ambientes in Mexico City. Roulet is a frequent contributor to Sculpture magazine. Her other publications include many catalogue essays, encyclopedia entries, articles in American Art, Art Journal, Art Nexus, and the book Contemporary Puerto Rican Installation Art, the Guagua Aerea, the Trojan Horse and the Termite.
