"A Room of One's Own (Picasso)," 2012, Unique hand-colored relief print with collage, 35" x 56 3/8", Monotype
Pace Prints is pleased to present Collaged Monoprints, an exhibition of new hand-colored monoprint drawings by Jane Hammond, created in the Pace Paper studios in Brooklyn, New York. This is Hammond's fourth solo exhibition with Pace Prints.
A Room of One's Own, the title given to each of the large-scale works in Hammond's exhibition, describes the individuality of the depicted interior space based upon its invented composition, color and collaged elements. In this body of work, as always, Hammond works in a method of recombination, making an array of figures, animals and objects, combining and recombining them to create myriad and changing associations in each collage. All of this play occurs inside a recurring Renaissance-style room, with deep perspectival space. Each room is extensively hand-painted and contains up to seventy elements, individually cut out and collaged into the space. Hammond's capacious hand-painting is combined with relief printing, linoleum block printing, etching, digital printing and rubber stamping in all of the works. To read more about the exhibition visit Hammond at Pace Prints

Front Cover
Master Printer Craig Zammiello and Curator Elizabeth Hodarmarsky engage in lively discussions with 10 contemporary artists including
Mel Bochner, Carroll Dunham, Ellen Gallagher, Jane Hammond, Suzanne McClelland, Chris Ofili, Elizabeth Peyton, Matthew Ritchie, Kiki Smith, and Terry Winters.
These conversations follow ten unique projects from inception to completion, tracing each artist's initial vision, the artist's and printer's creative strategies, and reactions to the final product. By documenting the dual perspectives of artist and printer, the book reveals recent innovations in the field of printmaking as well as the collaborative nature of art-making itself. The result is a rare behind-the-scenes excursion into the workings of the contemporary print studio. To learn more about the book visit

Drawing from Fifth Grade Class, Holualoa School, Holualoa, HI
The artist's "Communitiy Project" is based on a notion from her own practice: even a few defined elements can provide a boundless variability of expression. She recently decided she will take a small "sample" of her lexicon, five or six elements and present them as neutrally as possible --- i.e. like the tarot cards --- to a great variety of people, of all ages, living all over the world. She'll then encourage them to create their own narratives, personal or imaginary, from these constituent elements and realize that narrative as a drawing. The artist sees herself as a kind of facilitator but not "the artist." In a sense, the project is about the artist in all of us and the endless unpredictability of the human imagination.
In April of 2006, Jane was awarded an artist in residence grant by the Laila Art Fund to bring her Community Project to the Big Island of Hawaii, under the auspices of the Holualoa Foundation for Arts and Culture. She brought the project to four middle schools, a public special needs school, a home for the elderly, a home for abused women and a women's prison. She returned with over 400 drawings and ten hours of unedited videotape documenting the visits. The success of the project for all: the grantor, the venues, all the participating individuals, their institutions and the artist herself has encouraged Jane to proceed further with this unusual process-driven, experimental collaboration. With the proper support, the artist hopes to bring the project to locations around the world. Prospectively, Sweden is next with China and Trinidad to follow. The final form of the project is still open and will become manifest as the drawings and video will allow. For these Hawaiian visits, the lexicon of images presented was fire, water, clown, rope and tree. |
