Fiat Lux: Stefan Abrams, Micah Danges, James Johnson, Anna Neighbor & Brent Wahl
Fiat Lux will be a group exhibition of work by five Philadelphia artists: Stefan Abrams, Micah Danges, James Johnson, Anna Neighbor and Brent Wahl. While each of the artists was trained as a photographer and has taught photography at universities and art schools in Philadelphia, none has a simple or straightforward relationship with the medium. Photography is central to the work of all these artists, but their explorations of the potentials and shortcomings of the medium result in a surprisingly diverse group of works. Two of the artists, Johnson and Neighbor make sculptural installations; two, Danges and Wahl, create collages and sculptures and then photograph them; and Abrams makes work that challenges traditional conceptions of street photography. The work of all of these artists responds to successive earlier generations of photo-based artists who questioned and challenged established notions of photography. At the same time they are addressing the overwhelming proliferation of photographic images in today’s society.
This exhibition is made possible by special project support from the Edna W. Andrade Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation.

Jennifer Greenburg: Revising History
Jennifer Greenburg
Revising History is an exhibition of new photographic work by Chicago artist Jennifer Greenburg. The exhibition features a series of manufactured images Greenburg created in which individuals in found, vintage negatives are replaced with her own image. She commandeers source material from other people’s lives, thus hijacking their memories as her own. The resulting images are highly believable, as Greenburg is seamlessly integrated into an array of interiors, interacting with people from the original photographs and engaging in the action of the captured moment. The images depict events ranging from an office party to the last seconds of a ping pong competition, and just like most snapshots, they memorialize events that are only fleetingly significant.
Greenburg is an Assistant Professor of Photography at Indiana University Northwest, Gary, IN. She holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from The University of Chicago. Greenburg has exhibited internationally and is represented by Martha Schneider Gallery, Chicago, IL and JDC Gallery, San Diego, CA. A full-length monograph on her work, The Rockabillies was published by the Center for American Places in 2009.
Talia Greene: Cross Pollination
Talia Greene
Cross Pollinationis a new work by Philadelphia artist Talia Greene, who has created a printed wallpaper installation specifically for The Print Center. The gallery space is covered in a delicate filigree of dried stems, stamen, hair and insect parts influenced by Islamic and Western decorative motifs, as well as patterns found in nature. The wallpaper seems to be disintegrating as it is consumed by a swarm of bees, whose activity re-forms the components of the pattern into a honeycomb. Cross Pollination references the transmission of influences between cultures and even between species. Three framed prints hung over the wallpaper tell a similar story of cross pollination, linking East and West, and past and present, through an ambiguous insect infestation.
Talia Greene received her MFA from Mills College, Oakland, CA, and her BA from Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT. She has had solo exhibitions at American University Museum, Washington, D.C.; Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, Wilmington, DE; and Electric Works, San Francisco, CA. Her work has been included in group shows at venues including the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, MD; The Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art, Charleston, SC; The Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Rosa, CA; Wave Hill, Bronx, NY; and Flashpoint Gallery, Washington D.C. She is a Senior Lecturer at the University of the Arts.
Anne Massoni: Holding
Anne Massoni
Holding is an exhibition of new photographic work by New Jersey artist Anne Massoni. Massoni’s series of the same name utilizes images the artist created paired with found photographs to construct a place between truth and fiction. These contrasting images are positioned side by side with a thin line painted across their surface, drawing imagined connections. The images used by Massoni are varied, ranging from humble interiors to architectural masterworks. Some works join figures to landscapes, while others link scenes of obvious age to material that appears to be contemporary. The images themselves are used to reinforce the concepts of memory and often include mnemonic elements and notions of artifact to represent an underlying narrative, which touches on the personal while still attempting to be collective.
Anne Leighton Massoni is a Specialist Professor of Photography at Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ. Massoni holds an MFA in Photography from Ohio University, Athens, OH and a BA in Photography and Anthropology from Connecticut College, New London, CT. She has exhibited nationally and internationally including shows at the Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca, NY; Allen Sheppard Gallery, New York, NY; East End Film Festival, London, England; and Il Cantinonearte Teatri e Galleria del Grifo, Montepulciano, Italy. Recent publications of her work include ASPECT: The Chronicle of New Media Artand SpostaMenti, an exhibition catalog of the series Holding.

Katie Baldwin: There are Two Stories Here
Katie Baldwin
There are Two Stories Here is an exhibition of new works by the Philadelphia artist Katie Baldwin. Baldwin creates woodblocks that together form a complex poetic narrative. A skilled printmaker and bookbinder, Baldwin is deeply committed to traditional print processes and the history of printmaking as craft. In her work, these processes, some of which are archaic and quite technically difficult, take on significance on both a personal and a political level.
This exhibition is made possible by special project support from the Edna W.
Andrade Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation.
Emma Wilcox: Where it Falls April 13 – July 28, 2012
Where it Falls No. 3, Gelatin silver print, 2012
Where it Falls features newly commissioned and recent work by artist Emma Wilcox, who creates and then photographs rooftop interjections of large-scale, text-based work. Her haunting, enigmatic silver prints, taken primarily within a 5-mile radius of Newark, NJ, suggest multiple narratives, hinting at crime, destruction and violence. The Print Center produced an accompanying publication that includes an essay by noted author Luc Sante. Click here for more information or to purchase the book.
This exhibition is made possible by special project support from the Harpo Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, an anonymous donor, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance Creative Grant Program made possible by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation, as well as the generous cooperation of Gitterman Gallery, New York.

particles will be presented in combination with Robert Asman's photographs
of clouds and the celestial activity beyond them. Both artists visualize key
elements of our universe which we have yet to fully understand. Infinitely Visible

Opening reception for Debra Werblud's Totentanz
Debra in front of her installation
Opening reception for Lesley Dill's Multiple Impressions
Lesley Dill's work is characterized by the complex interweaving of a wide range of materials, image and text; she combines the word with the image, the fragile with the indestructible, the handmade with the computer-generated. Using the body or its surrogate, clothing, in concert with the written verse (notably by Emily Dickinson), Dill seeks to collapse the distinction between the physicality of the human body and the conceptuality of language. Her work is often composed of delicate layers, which alludes to the fragility of the human condition.
In the pictorial tradition of the "Totentanz" or the "Dance of Death" the figure of death seduces the living to the world beyond the grave through dance. In Debra Werblud's installation, the predator and prey are respectively the vultures which feed on decay and olive trees that nourish life. However, as the viewer enters into the room and walks through the installation you become a part of the dance. Depending on the viewer's position, you either become the vultures' victim or a destructing force to the trees. Werblud questions-but not accusingly-our capability for evil as well as our own vulnerability.
Based in South Korea, Young-Sook Jang creates minimalist landscapes with simple lines and small patches of color. Her intaglio prints capture the true essence of nature: its simplicity and complexity, seduction and menace, vulnerability and impenetrability, and the endless cycle of life and decay.

September, 2001 The Digital Mural Project is a unique collaboration
between The Print Center and The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
to create Philadelphia's first digitally-printed, building-sized,
outdoor artist murals on fabric. In fall 2001, four artists were
selected through a national competition process to conduct residencies
in three Philadelphia schools: The Masterman School, Central High
School, and the Charter High School for Architecture and Design
(CHAD). Selected artists Caroline Bitterman and Peter Duka (Berlin,
Germany), Peggy Diggs (Williamstown, MA), and Laurence Salzmann
(Philadelphia, PA) conducted intensive residencies in digital printing,
design and mural-making with more than 100 students and community
members. The digital murals will be installed in 2003.
