The title of this exhibition, “Prints of Darkness,” derives from a recent series of drawings, Tracing Time to Measure Space, in which I record the passage of time at three intervals—morning, noon and night—by sequentially tracing the shadow of an architectural object as it is constructed in one day’s time. The object is then dismantled, releasing the shadow to exist as a singular composite drawing of individual moments frozen into a single image, a “shadow map,” from which new iterations of the shadow may be formed. Using pencil on Mylar, I allow my hand to smear the graphite, sections of which I erase to articulate highlights against the complex pencil wireframe. The resulting palimpsest retains the evidence of the process while revealing something else. When anticipating my 2013-14 artist’s residency at the Experimental Printmaking Institute (EPI), I was concerned about how I might express the ephemeral effect of the graphite “smear” via the techniques of printmaking. With great insight, Professor Curley Holton suggested that my focus should be with finding the “smear” that is inherent to the printmaking process, rather than seeking to replicate the effect of the smear. And so, in collaboration with Jase Clark, EPI Master Printer in Training, I began to conceive the potential of the printmaking process as a means of reflecting or re-casting my shadow drawings. Engaged in a variety of printmaking processes, including calligraphy, etching, silkscreen, viscosity printing and embossing, I was exposed to a new way of interpretation via different mediums and techniques, revelations that led to major transformations of my ideas and novel means of their construction. Whereas my shadow drawings are projections of their objects, I consider my prints the inverse or reflection of my drawings cast in a new form…shadow cast impressions; Prints of Darkness.

ANTHONY VISCARDI Artist's Biography The work of his most recent exhibition at Lehigh University Art Gallery in Fall of 2013 and his current exhibit at FXFOWLE Architects Office Gallery in NYC was begun during Anthony Viscardi's 2011-2012 sabbatical when he was awarded a MacDowell Colony Fellowship to continue his theoretical drawing/visual investigations on "shadow mapping." He has since received the 2013 Faculty Fellowship award from Study Abroad Italy (SAI) in Florence to begin work on a manuscript that documents a drawing method he developed for teaching students to more closely observe the architecture and culture of Italy. Viscardi has also been chosen Artist in Residence for The Experimental Printmaking Institute at Lafayette College in Easton, PA for the 2013-2014 academic year. Throughout his career in architectural practice and as a professor of architecture, Viscardi has continued to work as an artist. He has had solo exhibitions at the Atlanta College of Art, Lehigh University Wilson Gallery, and Gallery 164 in Buffalo, NY, and has exhibited at Nexus Contemporary Art in Atlanta, Philadelphia University of the Arts, Philadelphia Third Street Art Gallery, Auburn University Frank Seltzer Gallery, Allentown Art Museum, and Banana Factory Center for the Arts in Bethlehem, PA. Viscardi's work has been exhibited widely at national and international academic conferences. He developed a particular interest in creative collaboration while working with Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto during his three-month residency in Atlanta. He has since engaged in a number of collaborative design-build projects with artists, architects, students, and community members. Viscardi is represented in the NYC Drawing Center curated Artist Registry. Professor Viscardi is a nationally and internationally known scholar-teacher in the design and art of architecture. He has a special interest in study abroad and established the Lehigh in Italy Summer Program in Vicenza in 1995 and serves as its director. He has conducted design workshops and presentations at institutions of higher learning in Canada, Malaysia, Europe, Brazil, and Puerto Rico and was invited to teach a month-long creative design workshop for forty professional architects at the Beijing Victory Star firm.
