Artist Talk: Nicole Pietrantoni
4:30 p.m. w88 mobile. 9
Room 2030, William J. Raggio Building
Come hear Nicole Pietrantoni discuss her fascinating installations, artists' books, and works on paper that combine digital and traditional printmaking techniques. Her artistic research and work examine the complex relationship between human beings and nature. While nature might be positioned as a neutral space, it is, in reality, a site of competing stories and representations. From the works of painters and early photographers to movies and tourism brochures, nature functions as a place of individual exploration and reverence, a site of resource and profit, and a respite from daily routines in the search for authentic experience. Inherent in any representation of nature is a simplification of its complexity. To be an artist working with print media today is to have a particular orientation towards replication, distribution and representation. As the printed matter is an increasingly ubiquitous part of our visual culture, printmaking as a fine art continues to expand and encompass a broadening definition.
