Fine-art digital printmaking is evolving in new and exciting ways. Digital processes provide incredible control over the color, tone, and contrast in an image and enable an artist to modify the image itself. The wide variety of the works on view in this exhibition highlighted the flexibility and artistic potential of digital print technology.

Works by 24 contemporary photographers who use digital techniques in their work were on view. These Iris prints are created by digitally controlled spraying of tiny droplets of ink (each too small to be visible to the naked eye) directly onto various surfaces including watercolor paper and printmaking paper. Most of the images on view were scanned from photographic negatives or prints; three were scanned directly into the computer using a flatbed scanner.

Origins & Techniques of European Printmaking
The woodcuts, engravings, etchings, lithographs, and screenprints in this exhibition offered an overview of printmaking techniques as seen in objects from the Davison Art Center Collection. These works complemented "Digital Printmaking at Singer Editions," concurrently on view in the DAC's main gallery. While that exhibition showed how a wide variety of artists have used digital printmaking technology to interpret their art in new and different ways, the prints shown here provided a historical sense of much longer established printmaking techniques.
This exhibition illustrated these techniques with works by artists including Andrea Andreani, Sebald Beham, Richard Bosman, Erich Heckel, Wassily Kandinsky, Lucas van Leyden, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Michael Mazur, Craig McPherson, Pablo Picasso, Fairfield Porter, Vincent D. Smith, and others.
