Next Friday is an open studio and installation of Mirabo Press artist in residence Nathan Meltz’s recent work. It’ll be an informal evening, visitors can check out Nathan’s prints and talk to the artist about his practice and time in residence at Mirabo.
About Nathan Meltz:
Nathan is an artist, professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the founder of the Screenprint Biennial. He uses collage, printmaking, animation and other graphic arts to comment on the infiltration of technology into every facet of life, from politics and food to family and war. In his visual vocabulary, the contemporary world of nanotechnology and genetic modification are retrofitted with images of analog mechanical parts. Nightmarish industrial creations are set against pictures of grand mechanical constructions to create an off-kilter vision of technology.
