Artists and artwork involved in the exhibition:
The Highpoint Cooperative Printshop currently hosts 60+ individual makers, from self-taught artists to life-long makers, educators, Jerome Residents, McKnight Fellows, scholarship recipients, Education and Studio Interns, and more! It is a vibrant and active community brought together for the love of printmaking processes. The cooperative printshop first opened in 2001, and a few of the members in this exhibition have been printing and taking classes at Highpoint since the very beginning!

Artist Highlight:
Meet Carl Nanoff. For the exhibition, Carl displays new works that represent some of the ideas he learned while studying architecture and art back in college, and the structure and forms he has worked with over the last 40 years as a draftsman and designer. As Carl neared the age of retirement, he returned to printmaking and joined Highpoint to develop ideas and printmaking techniques. 

“Entropy is the first work of a series of prints titled Architectonic. The origins of Entropy began as a digital drawing. It was created as a large-scale print to both challenges myself and convey a combination of form and structure with artistically pleasing shapes – it represents some of my own observations related to aging. This work combines the left brain discipline that was required for work and the right brain chaos of my art.”

Entropy image also used on the Hot Off the Press postcard graphic.

Artist Highlight:
Meet Louise Fisher. Louise is a practicing artist and educator based in Minnesota, specializing in printmaking, photography, and installation. Within the printmaking umbrella, Louise creates relief, silkscreen, post-digital techniques (laser-cutting, digital printing), and also risograph and lithography. Louise has been practicing printmaking for 10 years and has been a co-op member of the Highpoint co-op since February 2021. Louise is currently an art instructor at the Normandale Community College, and also an active member of the Mid-America Print Council and Southern Graphic Council International (executive board 2019-2022). 

Louise’s work investigates the built environment and architectural spaces, how natural and artificial light affects circadian rhythms and urban versus rural landscapes. “While day allows for productivity, night affords us contemplation, privacy, silence, intimacy, and most importantly – rest. Commonly overlooked, light pollution has drastically altered ecosystems, our biological rhythms, and our collective sense of wonder. For the Hot Off the Press Exhibition, I’ve been experimenting more with size (scale), materials, and process. I think the end result is a body of print work that’s a little untraditional. The smaller works will also be affordable and easy to fit in any space, and I hope a few of them will find a new home!”

About special guest musician Joe Haus: Like many of his generation, Joe Haus discovered the guitar while watching the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, February 9, 1964, when the Beatles performed. He started guitar lessons at Traficanti Music in the summer of 1967 and used his first paycheck from the MN State Fair to buy a good electric guitar. Discovering that the members of the band Chicago met in music school, he headed to college to learn music and take up the classical guitar. He studied with James McGuire. Since then he has played at weddings, art galleries, and other events and venues as a soloist and with flutist Kay Miller. As a soloist, he performs an eclectic mix of styles and genres. He has been a member of the Minnesota Guitar Society for many years and is currently the president of the board of directors.
