Much has been made about the letterpress revival in the world of applied art and design. A new exhibition at Hoffman Gallery at Oregon College of Art & Craft (8245 SW Barnes Road) looks at letterpress in the context of contemporary art both in the ways that it informs innovative work and the ways it is to be distinguished from “other mediums such as silkscreen, lithography, or digital printing.”
Fresh Impressions: Letterpress Printing in Contemporary Art, curated by acclaimed artists like Inge Bruggeman and Heather Watkins (on faculty at OCAC and Lewis & Clark respectively) is a group show featuring work by more than a dozen artists. It opens tonight Thursday, February 28 with a reception from 4-7 PM and runs through March 20.
