Where the Lines Meet

June 07 - June 29,2024

From Throughline Collective: “Where the Lines Meet” explores the nature of lines, and the space created when they intersect. The exhibition highlights the vibrant connection between two artists from different backgrounds through printmaking forms, from monotypes and etchings to collage and mixed media works. Here each artist showcases their own distinct identity without undermining the other’s diverging perspective and artistic expression. Criscoe and Duarte invite you to join them on a journey of mutual respect and admiration - in each other’s work, the forms they explore, and in the magic of printmaking. Jonas Criscoe is an interdisciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited throughout the United States, most notably at the International Print Center in New York, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Criscoe has also been featured in various art publications, including Art Lies and New American Painting; has been a Jerome Fellow at the Highpoint Center for Printmaking; and a West Prize acquisition recipient.
