The Compound Gallery is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition “SUPERSTRATA: 3D Printed Art.” 3D Printed focuses on innovative approaches to creating visual art using additive manufacturing. Artists across the country will use 3D modeling as a form of artistic expression and 3D printers as an artistic medium. The show will run from July 18th-September 6th with the opening reception held on Saturday, July 18th 6-9pm.
Much focus has been placed on industrial applications such as rapid prototyping and manufacturing, but artistic approaches are expeditiously increasing. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a method in which successive layers of material are placed by an industrial robot (3d printer) to create a three dimensional object. Various materials such as resin, steel, wax, food, and precious metals can be used in select printers, but plastics are currently the most dominant material used.
SUPERSTRATA will showcase 3D printed art by internationally acclaimed artists with work printed from various plastics, wood, salt, tea, sandstone, and concrete.
3D printed art requires design concept, 3D modeling, and printing--elements that are not always done by the artist who created the design. Historically, many artists did not always autonomously create their own work. Classical artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens had skilled apprentices and assistants, and many contemporary artists like Warhol, Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, and countless others rely heavily on staff to produce work, many of which have been criticized for having assistants.
3D print computer files work much like as an artist’s etching plate. It is a means of manifesting an artist’s concept into reality. SUPERSTRATA will explore the notion of artistic copyright, use of hired printers, and design rights in relation to 3D printing and the Visual Arts. Artist and author of The Book on 3D Printing” Isaac Budmen will be discussing these topics and more during his talk on Sunday, July 19th at 4pm. The Compound Gallery also has interdisciplinary studios including an Art Lab with 3D printer. Come tour our 12,000 sq ft. art facilities at the opening reception.
Exhibiting artists: Isaac Budmen, Tom Burtonwood, Joseph Delappe, Megan Ender, Steven Fragale, Holly Holmes, Fred Kahl, Kadet Kuhne, Helena Lukasova, Ronald San Fratello, Virginia San Fratello, Charles Stevens, and more.
