Subject: [Baren 8310] Chicago Exhibit & Dragon update 

Thanks to all of those that sent in their info for the Skokie/Chicago Baren
exhibit. I am now sorting thru the many emails
and setting up an artist's database.  If you are still working on
yours....please send it in asap so as to ensure proper info is displayed
alonside your print(s). If I don't have you recent info when I go to the
printers,  I will have to get the info from the Baren website.

I am not ready to ask for this yet, but wanted to alert you so as to give you a
week or two to update your personal
data. Following along the theme of exchange #5 Junin Toiro (65 artists, 65
colors!!!!) I would like to put together an artists bio book to be on display
alongside the prints (perhaps next to the PC dedicated to Baren). Each page of
the book will be dedicated to the info/resume on one of the participants and be
printed in different color papers.  In order to keep it somewhat simple and fair
to all, I will like this to be limited to one standard page (8 1/2 X 11)....if
your info (schools, solo shows, group exhibitions, etc) is extensive perhaps you
can summarize and add a line at the bottom " for additional details contact
artist"....as with all other aspects of this exhibit....your participation is
optional but encouraged. Will post again next week about this.

I am not trying to make more work for myself....but rather thinking along the
terms of something neatly formatted by yourselves that I can just cut & paste
and then take along to the printers. As we sit now the exhibit contains prints
from 65 different artists...with 20 of those being from overseas...........Junin
Toiro ??????????

Thanks to those that have already sent in your money and those sending privates
alerting me of  the "in the mail" status. I have started contacting local and
Chicago print media and the library has sent to print their upcoming
calendar/literature with a writeup on our show. Next are the local cable
channels as well as the public
stations in Chicago. I would like to get our show mentioned on a weekly show
called "Artbeat Chicago".

A few more dragons flew into camp this week. My thanks to Wanda Robertson and
Georga Garside for their beautiful dragons and from far away
places.....Horacio's Dragon -X (Brazil) and Colleen Corradi
(Italy).........that's along way to flap your wings. Will update the backyard
page later in the week.

Thanks..........Julio

Subject: [Baren 8311] Request  

	In the past I remember someone requesting that we sign off with our "city
and country" as his (I think) daughter got a kick out of it. Myself and
some others have done this.

	I would like to suggest that there is a much more important reason for
doing this.

		1. It will give each of us a more visual context for other members. 
		2. It can and (I say ) will bring us closer to situations that effect us
	as artist. Such as what Michael schneider pointed out. I was very aware of
		the situation going on in Austria but didn't know that Michael lived
there.
		3. It is a lot of fun seeing where everyone lives or is from.

	for those of you using eudora it is a simple matter of just adding this
information to you "Signature".

Thanks and looking forward to your support


Thank You

Subject: [Baren 8314] Re: key block 

Maria, my dear, you can do both. You can use the oily stuff on some work
and the watery stuff on others. You can have a foot in both camps.
Heaven forbid that we should limit ourselves! 

Seriously, they both have their good qualities, and their not-so-good
qualities. But I think you would enjoy doing Hanga. You've already
mastered the cutting skills, so all you have to do is get over the idea
of all that pigment sitting in all those little dips! Really not as bad
as it sounds.

Subject: [Baren 8315] Re: key block 

Although you should watch out if you are using dampened thin kozo paper it can
sag into the inked valleys and get some unintended results - but some times
unintended is interesting!  I tend to have to blot the valleys with a rag.

On the question of combining oil with water based hanga, you should see some of
Ken Tyler Graphics (USA) collaborations with artists like Frank Stella.  They
recently had an exhibition here at the Australian National Gallery of a huge
scale print by Stella which combined in jigsaw fashion, copper etching plates
with (I think) hanga woodblocks (or they may have been inked in the European way
with oil based and roller).  The block/plate assembly took up most of the
exhibition space and was far more interesting than the print.  Tyler has also
done some very large scale hanga prints (using Japanese cutting and printing
specialists) with the artist Helen Frankenthaler.  I am referring to the Genji
Monagateri series.
