Salvador Andrade Arévalo

Salvador Andrade Arévalo is a Chicago based artist that works in lithography, etching, and monotype. He received his BA from Yale University in Art (printmaking concentration) and Ethnicity, Race, & Migration. He also holds a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge in Latin American Studies with a focus in 19th Century Mexican lithography.

Salvador’s work revolves around the seriality of printmaking and its history as a site for cheap reproduction. Historically, printmaking was used to produce economical illustrations and portraits. With this in mind, Salvador’s own versions of portraits come from within the body. They are portraits of the micro–cells, synapses, tissues –afforded by current technologies. Just as organic materials grow, mutate, and wither, so do his series of prints produced from one plate.

Julie Cowan

I have two interests: portraiture and architecture. I investigate the idea of place and how spaces make us feel either embraced or alienated. Using architectural themes, I select photographic imagery and then digitally alter the photos to create greater contrasts and stronger line. Often I will layer various photographic elements to create new spaces. With portraiture, I usually make large close up images that reveal imperfection through the printmaking technique itself.
These pieces have layers of printmaking applications. First I shoot the photographic image. Then, once digitally altered, I print the image using a paper transfer process with oil-based ink. I then often layer using a monotype process. Details on the print are often hand-colored with pencil or watercolor.

Fereshteh Toosi

As a multidisciplinary artist, I collect and recombine sounds, words, images, and actions. I design experiences and pursue a research-based practice grounded in audience participation and collaboration.

My socially engaged creative work ranges from community-driven oral histories to guerrilla interventions in public places. Projects that feature the history and people of a particular place take different forms appropriate to the situation. The most recent features food heritage stories compiled as an audio book with 3D elements, designed for an audience of people with low or no vision.
