Review of Tamarind Techniques for Fine Art Lithography in Print Quarterly by Antony Griffiths.
|
TAMARIND AND LITHOGRAPHY. This Journal does not usually give notice of newly published manuals for print-makers. There are many of these, published in some quantity to meet the demand (perhaps now diminishing) for textbooks from schools of art. Some are better than others. I remember reading with certain disbelief one such book that had emerged from Central Europe, where the section on woodcut began with advice on how to recognize a suitable tree in a forest and cut it down. A new manual on lithography from the Tamarind Institute of the University of New Mexico is, however, something that does require acknowledgment. It is not just that Tamarind has exercised such a huge influence over the history of lithography; it is also because this publication is more than a cookbook of recipes. Read entire review. |

| Tamarind Connects with Cuban Artists | Taller Experimental,
a printmaking studio and gallery in Havana, Cuba, was buzzing with activity
when Tamarind Institute Director Marjorie Devon visited last month. The
purpose of Devon’s trip was to arrange for a Cuban lithographer’s
visit to Tamarind this summer.
“There is a vibrant community of visual and performing artists in Cuba and many of them have established reputations abroad despite travel restrictions,” she said. The graphic arts have a strong tradition and continue to thrive with many contemporary artists working in print media at Taller Experimental. Read the article in UNM Today. |

Homeless for a collaborative project between ArtStreet, the Harwood Art
Center, and the Tamarind Institute

will begin in September 2008 and culminate with two exhibits open to the
