This year's IFPDA selection showcases a diverse array of artists, encompassing both long-standing collaborators and recent projects. San Francisco-based artist Koak came to Tamarind for the first time in 2022. In her piece High Noon featured in this year’s booth, the serene elements clash with unsettling details, evoking a sense of tension. The juxtaposition sparks an exploration of human complexity. Stockholm-based Brian Rea is another artist with whom we had not previously collaborated with. Rea's debut project at Tamarind Institute involved a remote collaboration with our printing team led by Master Printer Valpuri Remling. They produced five lithographs, starting in 2021 and finishing in 2023, overcoming pandemic-related challenges and geographic distances. Each piece reflects Rea's versatility, humor, and commitment to collaboration. We also feature works by Ellen Berkenblit and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, both of whom have a rich history with Tamarind. Additionally, we included pieces by Danielle Orchard, who began collaborating with us in 2018. Her 2022 monotype Tights III references her 2021 painting, Lint, offering insights into the contemporary female experience. This year's booth reflects Tamarind's evolution and artists' various approaches to collaborative lithography.
