Description:
Guerilla Gallery offers members of the art and science communities the unique opportunity to experiment with the complicated process of printing images from their own files on a variety of printers, free of charge. The gallery includes a fully equipped imaging studio, where artists can produce digital prints on a high-end Iris ink-jet printer.
The salon area of the gallery, Common Ground, also serves as a meeting place and crossroads, where SIGGRAPH 95 attendees from all disciplines can exchange ideas on all aspects of imaging. This exchange is intended to enhance our understanding and appreciation of one another. Works-on-paper artists exhibit their prints in Common Ground, talk with manufacturers, and hold “Artists Talk on Art” sessions, which are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
ven though computer art is 30 years old, computer artists are still fighting a guerilla struggle to gain acceptance in the established fine art community and within our own broadspectrum technology communities. The Guerrilla Gallery is a working Atelier that provides a rich interactive experience for works-on-paper artists and the entire SIGGRAPH community.
The purpose of the Guerrilla Gallery is two-fold. First, it offers members of the art and science communities a unique opportunity to experiment with the complicated process of printing images from their own files on a variety of printers, free of charge. The gallery features a fully equipped imaging studio where artists can produce digital prints.
The salon area of the gallery, Common Ground, also serves as a meeting place and crossroads, where SIGGRAPH 95 attendees from all disciplines can exchange ideas on all aspects of imaging. This exchange is intended to enhance our understanding and appreciation of one another. Works-on-paper artists exhibit their prints in Common Ground, talk with manufacturers, and hold “Artists Talk on Art” sessions, which are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
The atelier is supervised by Jon Cone, founder of Cone Editions Press, who offers his services as master printer.
