Greetings, Below is the call for applications to the APS Printmaking Workshop for Early-Career Curators and Scholars. Please circulate widely. Best, Sarah Bane ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Association of Print Scholars <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, Oct 6, 2021 at 9:37 AM Subject: Apply Now! APS Printmaking Workshop for Early-Career Curators and Scholars (New Mexico, MAY 23–27, 2022) To: <[log in to unmask]> *Call For Applications: APS Printmaking Workshop for Early-Career Curators and Scholars (New Mexico, May 23–27, 2022)* The *Association of Print Scholars (APS)* is currently accepting applications for the first of two intensive, hands-on printmaking workshops for emerging scholars and curators funded by *The Paper Project: Prints and Drawings Curatorship in the 21st Century*, an international initiative of the Getty Foundation that supports training and professional development for early- and mid-career curators of prints and drawings. Based in New Mexico, this first five-day workshop will be dedicated to planographic techniques (lithography and monotype) and will be hosted at the renowned Tamarind Institute <https://printscholars.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d96a0f11f78b03a671b8c5d69&id=750651c8e2&e=d0416df383> and the University of New Mexico Art Museum <https://printscholars.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d96a0f11f78b03a671b8c5d69&id=c4b0e9c545&e=d0416df383> in Albuquerque and 10 Grand Press <https://printscholars.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d96a0f11f78b03a671b8c5d69&id=defaad369c&e=d0416df383> in Santa Fe. A thorough comprehension of various printmaking methods is critical to developing scholarship and exhibitions on these media. Yet, as they embark on their careers, many early-career print curators lack such practical experience due to competing professional and academic demands that make it difficult to enroll in a semester-long printmaking course. Because the intricacies of printmaking are often difficult to grasp from text alone, APS hopes this workshop will provide invaluable technical and material knowledge of the medium that will not only contribute to, but also enhance, a print curator's and scholar’s understanding of a work’s content, intention, and aesthetic. Our aim is also to prepare participants to better communicate these complex techniques in an accessible language to a general audience and contribute new personal insights to the field. Ten early-career curators and scholars will be selected to participate in this workshop. Designed as an intensive program, the first two days will consist of hands-on work in lithography at the Tamarind Institute. The third and fourth days will be dedicated to studio work in monotype at 10 Grand Press. The final day will include a tour of the works on paper collection at the University of New Mexico Art Museum. Applications to the workshop are open to candidates who have a graduate degree (or equivalent experience), which must have been awarded within 10 years. Preference will be given to early-career curatorial professionals (curators, curatorial or research assistants/associates, postdoctoral fellows), although advanced graduate students and independent scholars with a demonstrated interest in printmaking and curatorial practice will also be considered. Travel, accommodation, and meal expenses will be covered by APS and the Getty Foundation. To apply, please submit the following documents via this online form <https://printscholars.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d96a0f11f78b03a671b8c5d69&id=142dc878c0&e=d0416df383> : - A brief statement (500 words max.) describing your research/work and how it would be enriched by this workshop - If you have previously participated in programming sponsored by The Paper Project or the Association of Print Scholars, please include a brief description of your experience and how it impacted your scholarship (250 words max.) - A current CV - Contact information for an academic or professional reference.
