Pump Project throws old school and new wave together in one venue. Five diverse artists use both traditional printmaking and computer-based processes to unite under the enormous banner of graphic art/design. Escape Hatch is a "state of the union" show of an art form in flux: high on the speed of the digital era, but yearning to remain the handcrafted industry it has been for centuries. Artists and designers Paul Fucik (Decoder Ring Design Concern), Marie Garza (Coronado Studios), Noreen Naseem, Elise Pelletier (Coronado Studios), and Dave Starsign offer a snapshot of the revolution. Curator: Rachelle Rouse (Shady Tree Studios/AIGA member).
