Aspen Art Museum

AAM exhibiting artist Abraham Cruzvillegas recently remarked that “slowing down is much more work than I imagined!” For many of us, this period is marked by new modes of efficiency and ingenuity which call into question our previously unquestioned processes of creative production. Cruzvillegas joins us from his apartment in Paris, a city with a historical relationship to enclosure, where he discusses how his daily life as an artist has shifted, how he has set new patterns, and what he has learned so far.

Let’s get together to explore a super creative and experimental form of printmaking called Collagraphy!

A collagraph is a type of print made from a textured collage or relief. They are easy to make because you can use interesting materials and common items found around your home. Collagraphs are one-of-a-kind works of art, and the results are always surprising.
