Marsha Cottrell's Handmade Digital Prints at Eleven Rivington Challenge Digital Art Trends

Marsha Cottrell's showcase at Eleven Rivington in New York City runs from February 27 to April 5, 2015, highlighting her unique handmade digital prints that examine the relationship between ink and computer technology. Since 1998, Cottrell has employed electrostatic toner as a mezzotint, providing a stark contrast to the works of Julie Mehretu. The exhibition features a selection of ten pieces from her previous styles, including Index 1 (Presence of Nature) (1998-2013), along with new creations like the Aperture Series, evoking nocturnal imagery. Additional works consist of dark astronomical maps and a large collage titled The Deliciousness of Staying Still (2015). This exhibition also critiques the digitalization trends evident in MoMA's The Forever Now and the New Museum's Surround Audience.
