Panel discussion for 365 days of print: 100 Culver Ave.
Jersey City, NJ
Held from 5:30 - 7 p.m. in the auditorium adjacent to the gallery. Artists and curators will discuss the artistic processes and challenges involved in their project.
The Egyptian Revolution, the Japan earthquake, the killing of Osama bin Laden - every news story has the potential to amaze, sadden and inspire.
A new NJCU Visual Arts Gallery exhibit, "365 Days of Print," shows how 43 international and local artists drew from newspaper articles to create over 120 works of art.
It all began in 2009 as one of photographer and artist Maya Joseph-Goteiner's personal projects. During her morning commute, Joseph-Goteiner was reading The New York Times when she realized how times and the news were changing. Back then, she had just started using Twitter and thinking about how digital and print news both impact their readers in different ways.
She began creating pieces of art every day using a current newspaper article and began inviting others to join her. In January, she launched the "365 Days of Print" project, in which artists create one work inspired by a news article every day for a month.
