Mortlake Print Exchange


Each Fall Mortlake and Company invites print makers to participate in a themed exhibition and print exchange as part of the Mortlake Book Fair festivities. Participating artists submit a limited number of prints, which are then exchanged with the other artists work. In addition to exhibiting the prints in its gallery throughout September, Mortlake and Company will also host two receptions [ see dates below ].
Print Exchange curated by Brian Cotnoir & William Kiesel - 2018 Theme:

Ascent Through Descent
Many esoteric traditions have in their practice ideas of descent into the underworld in order for the soul to ascend. In alchemy it is the nigredo the black stage, an opening of the body, a descent into matter before its rebirth. Or, consider the shaman’s descent into, and travels through, the underworld in pursuit of healing. In our stories of the gods we hear of Orpheus’ descent into Hades to retrieve his love Eurydice. Or, of the Harrowing of Hell, Christ’s descent into hell before his resurrection. It is an idea that is repeated in many ways, throughout many cultures and spiritual traditions.
