This is a special episode, Print Friends. It was recorded while Miranda was in residence at the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University. This is the third in a three-part deep dive into the Institute through the artists who teach at the university and an exploration into the ways in which technology intersects with contemporary printmaking.

This week Miranda speaks with Xiaowen Chen, a printmaking professor at Alfred University. They talk about growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution when all the art schools were closed and being a part of the very first class let back in on the other side, the culture shock of moving to the US for his MFA, how he got into using digital media in his practice, AI art, and taking teaching techniques with Ann Hamilton.

Edvard Munch, "The Scream"

In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to the public in 1955, the Clark has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment. One of the few institutions in the United States that combines a public art museum with research and academic programs, including a major art history library, the Clark is now a leading international center for research and discussion on the nature of art and art history. Building upon the founders’ legacy, the Clark completed its master plan for the twenty-first century. This final phase of a transformational campus expansion program adds new facilities to support the growth of museum and academic programs; enhances the visitor experience of the Clark; improves circulation throughout the campus; and creates new levels of environmental sustainability across its 140-acre grounds while maintaining the unique character of its beautiful rural setting.
