The Mapping Printmaking World Book is a digital publication that compiles hundreds of artists in the printmaking field from across the globe. This digital project is intended to give rise to other projects, namely an International Biennial of Graphic Work in the
virtual space of the internet and others. More than a compilation, the project aims to give greater emphasis to Graphic Work in the context of Contemporary Art. Other objectives are the dissemination of international projects that can work in a network, providing contacts, carrying out partnerships, promoting exchanges, events, workshops and other more or less physical or virtual projects.

Opening reception for the artists Friday, September 12 from 5 - 7PM

For Quirk's inaugural exhibition, we wanted to use this opportunity to introduce ourselves to our new neighbors and community in Charlottesville. Hello There will help us explain who we are and offer a taste of what's to come. More than forty artists—-painters and printmakers, illustrators, sculptors, and others working with clay, paper, resins, and fiber---have contributed a unique piece, representative of their current practice and specifically for Quirk, in celebration of our exciting new space and beautiful new home. Each of the artists selected have played a major part in Quirk's development since the gallery first opened its doors on Broad Street in downtown Richmond in 2005.

Exhibiting artists include Meg Roberts Arsenovic, Tenley Beazley, Brad Birchett, Molly Anne Bishop, Judith FAE Brown, Carissa Potter Carlson, Laurie Carnohan, Stephen Clark, Sami Cronk, Sean Donlon, Hillary Waters Fayle, Suzanna Fields, Tina Frey, Susie Ganch, Lucy Gillis, Elizabeth Graeber, Sarah Hand, Carli Holcomb, Mary Holland, Chris Milk Hulburt, Brooke Inman, Aimee Joyaux, Jeanie Keys, Shelly Klein, Joe Kraft, Rita MacNelly and Beezy Bogan, Kathleen Markowitz, Michael A. Pierce, Michael-Birch Pierce, Ana Rendich, Diego Sanchez, Mary Scurlock, Morgan Slade, Leigh Suggs, Nastassja Swift, Anne Blackwell Thompson, Randy Toy, Sophie Treppendahl, Emily Wicks, Eric Yevak, Aggie Zed, and others.

These people are like family to us and Quirk would not be what it is today without the contributions of these artists, among others. Family is what defines and shapes us. They watch us grow, fail, succeed. They teach us lessons. They lift us up, make us stronger, make us believe in ourselves. They see us develop, try new things, re-invent ourselves. They are always in our corner, cheering us on, no matter what. There comes a point in any new relationship, after things get serious, when the time feels right to introduce your family. So please stop by to see us, get to know our family, and say Hello There.

A special reception with some of the exhibiting artists will be held in Quirk's new gallery space on Thursday, March 5 from 5 – 8 pm. The gallery is located at 499 West Main Street with a rear entrance on Commerce Street.

PRESS RELEASE:

The Page Bond Gallery is pleased to present the Zhin Tu-Monoscape Series by Randy Toy.

This new series was inspired by “the wonder and mystery of an unexpected discovery.” Toy found that the imagery resulting from an unconscious mark-making exercise was inherently expressive and aesthetically powerful. The resulting landscapes asserted themselves “from the residue of fluid ink that had been squished, bled, and dragged across the paper’s surface,” suggesting rolling hills, mountains, clouds, rivers, and rainstorms. This evocative imagery references both the history of unconscious mark-making in Western art history and the self-assured brush strokes of traditional Chinese landscape painting. Process and execution are paramount in Toy’s work, and each object inspires a meditation on its making.

Opening reception Friday, September 7th from 7 to 9PM.

The Page Bond Gallery is pleased to present Haze, a selection of works by Liz Akamatsu, Isabelle Abbot, Robin Braun, Karen Blair, Dragana Crnjak, Piero Fenci, Robert Llewellyn, Ann Lyne, Sarah Irvin, Julian Jackson, Amanda Means, Leslie Millar, Tim O’Kane, Corey Pemberton, Fiona Ross, Eleanor Rufty, Alyssa Salomon, Peri Schwartz, Bob Strini, Randy Toy, Kazaan Viveiros, and Brenda Hope Zappitell.
