HERE BE DRAGONS: BELOW THE FOLD

BY THEO LOTZ

The works in Here Be Dragons: Below the Fold—the results of Carmon Colangelo’s third residency at Flying Horse Editions—represent an exciting new pictorial and sculptural vocabulary for the artist.

Based at the University of Central Florida, Flying Horse Editions is a collaborative research studio and publisher of limited edition art projects. While the studio’s expertise is in traditional printmaking processes—etching, lithography, and relief—it is always our ambition to stretch the limits of those media, to create objects that are full of surface and dimension, and not be bound by preconceptions of printmaking conventions. In that ambition Colangelo has been the ideal collaborator. His iconoclastic approach to the print shop studio—his willingness to subvert its technical rules and traditions—is a characteristic that we recognize and are continually inspired by.

As with earlier series made at Flying Horse Editions, Colangelo implemented contradictory tendencies as a creative strategy to develop these works. His process is to impose a rule structure for the project that carries the conceptual load for the work, and then improvise freely within that framework. This was the case with the project O-Land-O, made at FHE in 2011, that began with the self-imposed mandate of creating one image a day based on his reflections of Orlando for seven days; and again with Storms, in 2014, where the project structure started by digitally manipulating the letterforms that comprise a set of hurricane names. Within both of these constructs, he playfully collages and layers images that he has collected to accentuate chance occurrences and unexpected relationships.

Both O-Land-O and the Storms series explored themes of place, place-making, and geography so it was appropriate that maps, both as images and as ideas, would serve as a vehicle for a new body of work. Inspired by Colonial-era map rooms—libraries containing the known fragments of information about the world out there—Colangelo envisioned creating an immersive installation that spoke to the social and political anxiety of the current era and the inherent dangers of unchecked information collection. While, historically, surveying and map making represent efforts to define unknown landscapes, the privileged knowledge they provided have also had the profound impact of influencing political structures and defining social constructs—to the empowerment of some and the servitude of others. A creative explorer himself, Colangelo recognizes the parallels inherent in metadata collection and the digital analytics in our age and has created objects that serve as reflective contemporary maps and atlases.

2

He worked rapidly between Epson digital printers and a 300-ton hydraulic platen press, technologies—inkjet and relief—that represent the extreme ends of the history of printing, a choice that underscores a cyclical time-space compression and conceptually ties these works to the era of the woodcut illustrations found buried in many of them. His decision to make unique objects, monoprints, for this residency, rather than focusing on the processes that would make repeatable print editions possible, allowed him to work quickly and intuitively and let his formidable improvisational skills shine. Beginning with digitally printed images appropriated from the internet and drawings from his own sketch books, he created unexpected mashups which refer to the golden era of exploration (re-occurring pointers, compass roses, and globes, for example). He then intuitively reacted to these printouts with bold, flat relief-printed shapes scavenged from the laser cutter bins in Washington University’s architecture school. The inherent architectonic nature of these relief plates creates multivalent layers of contemporary associations, inviting the viewer to shift a sense of perspective and scale; these forms suggest landforms, buildings, or cities … or electronic schematics, processors or microchips.

Moreover, essential to the process was a game-like collaboration with FHE printers Adrian Gonzalez and Ashley Taylor and UCF student interns who took turns in the selection of plates from this collection and in the choice of colors for inking. The deep embossment created by the force of the hydraulic press pushes these works into the realm of sculpture, which inspired Colangelo to explore other three-dimensional qualities of paper. Folding and twisting the printed paper into shapes heightens associations with road maps and books—but these are charts where information is missing or obscured or at times strategically revealed.

Colangelo is keenly aware that data-mining and statistical analysis have become the cartography of our age and the works in this exhibition serve to remind us of the risks inherent in that power. There are still places where the earth drops off, and information gets lost and obscured in the folds. He points to this fact upfront: Here Be Dragons, he exclaims; and advises us to read deeper, and past the obvious: to explore what is concealed or revealed Below the Fold.

AFTERWORD

BY BRUNO L. DAVID 4

I am pleased to present an exhibition of new prints by Carmon Colangelo. This is the artist’s ninth solo exhibition with the gallery. Here be Dragons: Below the Fold is an exhibition of monotype relief prints by Carmon Colangelo responding our current political environment and the precariousness of our contemporary condition in the age of social media. This series of work expands on Colangelo’s personal taxonomy of images and ongoing daily practice of mapping and recording ephemeral information to respond visually and physically to the notion of global connectivity and our networked communities. Derived from hand drawings and digital processes combined with chance operations, found materials and printing from discarded laser cut plates from architectural models, the result is a generative series of colorful, haptic and playful works intended to express ideas about the anxieties, fears, and instability experienced around the world. The phrase Here be Dragons, first appeared on the Lenox globe in 1510 as a marker for dangerous and uncharted waters ahead.

Carmon Colangelo is a pioneering printmaker whose work combines surrealism and abstraction with the exploration of art history, science, and technology. His imagery presents a playful odyssey that references the meta-narratives of art history and is contingent on the juxtaposition of utopian ideals of modernism with the aesthetics of surrealism and conceptual art. An enduring feature of Colangelo’s work is the unraveling of free-floating symbols and texts in an aggressive exploitation of various print media. He challenges conventional readings, producing disorienting spatial topologies and striking visual poetics. His images may swing from the obsessively personal to the openly topical, allowing disparate formal structures and semiotics to inspire the production of remarkable forms that are somehow freed from the preceding visual context and grammar..

Carmon Colangelo (b. Toronto, Canada) lives and works in St. Louis, MO. He is the Ralph J. Nagel dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the E. Desmond Lee Professor for Collaboration in the Arts, Washington University in St. Louis. In this role, he oversees the School’s four academic units — the College of Art, College of Architecture, Graduate School of Art, and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design — as well as the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. Colangelo’s work has been featured in 30 solo shows and more than 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. His work has been collected by many of the nation’s leading museums, including the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, and the Saint Louis Art Museum. He earned a B.F.A. in printmaking and painting from the University of Windsor in Ontario (1981) and a M.F.A. in printmaking from Louisiana State University (1983).

Support for the creation of significant new works of art has been the core to the mission and program of the Bruno David Gallery since its founding in 2005. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Theo Lotz for his thoughtful essay. I am deeply grateful to Christina Lu and Thomas Fruhauf, who gave much time, talent, and expertise to the production of this catalogue. Invaluable gallery staff support for the exhibition was provided by Cleo Azariadis, Ashley Lee, Xizi Liu, Charis Schneider, Yihuang Lu, and Paula Stevenson.
