Mixografia is a fine art print publisher founded in Mexico City and now based in Los Angeles. Since its inception, they have collaborated with artists to develop new approaches to printmaking. Providing historical selections from its publication history, the exhibition highlights various technical innovations that resulted from the artist collaboration program and the research that informed each project. When Mixografia collaborated with Rufino Tamayo in the late 1970s, it presented an opportunity to experiment in non-traditional printing methods. What resulted were three-dimensional prints that would not only reproduce images but replicate textures and provide a greater sense of volume. Other experimentations led to new methods that would involve fabrication and papermaking. Mixografia, along with the artists they collaborate with, explored new approaches and adopted new technologies to articulate contemporary forms of printmaking, with the goal to ever expand the creative voices of the artist.
