IFPDA SPOTLIGHT: DERRICK ADAMS AND PAULA PANCZENKO ON COLLABORATIVE PRINTMAKING

Panelists | Derrick Adams (Artist), Paula Panczenko (Director | Tandem Press), and Jason Ruhl (Master Printer | Tandem Press). Moderated by Jenny Gibbs (Executive Director | IFPDA).

Join artist Derrick Adams, director Paula Panczenko (Tandem Press), and master printer Jason Ruhl (Tandem Press) for a conversation on collaborative printmaking and the creative process behind Adam’s new print edition with Tandem Press commissioned for EXPO CHICAGO, Silver Lining. The print incorporates abstract collage, vintage clothing patterns, fabric, and bold, colorful forms to communicate Adams’ interest in formalism, deconstruction and fragmentation. The piece merges the visual vernacular of garment making with the frenetic energy of a runway show – an ode to legendary Black designers. The panel is moderated by Jenny Gibbs, former Director of Sotheby’s Institute of Art MA Program and former Executive Director of Chicagoland’s Elmhurst Art Museum. Gibbs is now Executive Director of the IFPDA, the preeminent international organization for fine art prints and presenters of the IFPDA Print Fair in New York (Oct 27-30, 2022). Presented in partnership with the IFPDA.
