Connie Arismendi: Everyone

September 03 - October 15,2022

From Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking:

"Connie Arismendi’s approach to printmaking while at Flatbed Press involved experimentation and openness to the fluidity of monoprinting, enabling her to center on words that could carry multiple meanings. Arismendi states, "Words are powerful and malleable. I began exploring this malleability, and ambiguity. The viewer is presented with a single word floating on a cloud, like a daydream or a reverie.”

“Clouds are multivalent symbols of a higher order. They represent hope, impermanence, wisdom, holiness, but they can also signal doom and sorrow. In the exhibition EVERYONE, Connie Arismendi returns to this powerful symbol to evoke the changes, both personal and collective, that characterize this moment. Our world has reckoned with so much loss these last two years, and yet Arismendi’s arresting monoprints and etchings ask us to imagine a world where anyone and everyone can dream of hopeful possibilities.” - Tatiana Reinoza

Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking is delighted to present EVERYONE an exhibition of large monoprints and etchings created by Connie Arismendi during her collaborative residency at Flatbed during 2021-2022. The Flatbed Press publication Connie Arismendi EVERYONE will be available on September 24th. Essays by Tatiana Reinoza, Benito Huerta, and Flatbed Director Katherine Brimberry provide insight into the collaborative process and Arismendi’s work.

Please join us for an artist's reception held on Saturday, September 24th from 6pm-8pm.  Remarks by Arismendi at 6:30 pm."
