Johnny Adimando, Untitled (Moon Texture), 2011, silkscreen on paper, 6 x 8 inches
This January, Montserrat’s new printmaking faculty member and artist Johnny Adimando will attempt and fail at the impossible: to reach the moon through conventional methods of paper folding and printmaking. At its apogee the Moon is about 406700 km from the Earth, while a single sheet of paper is about 0.01 cm high. It would take approximately 1,520,640,000 stacked pieces of paper to reach the Moon or a single sheet of paper folded on itself 42 times could reach the Moon’s surface.
Please join Johnny for a reception for his 16 ft printstallation in the newly renovated 17 Cox Gallery! RSVP on the Facebook Event Page!
