As distinct from symbols, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.\u201d\r\nKrauss, Rosalind, \u201cNotes on the Index\u201d 1977\r\n\r\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss\u2019s attempt to corral some of the divergent, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970\u2019s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work\u2019s subject matter or, as more broadly described, \u2018the referent\u2019 of the work.\r\n\r\nUnder the guise of \u201cthe index\u201d, the artist\u2019s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: \u201cHow big should the work be? As big as that.\u201d \u201cHow much should the work cost? As much as this.\u201d \u201cWhat color should I use? The color of that.\u201d \u201cWhat shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.\u201d\r\n\r\nFor this exhibition, The Indexical Print, Krauss\u2019s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking\u2019s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate, or a digital image, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \r\n\r\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\r\n\r\nAbout the Artists:\r\n\r\nCathryn Amidei is a \u201cTextilian\u201d fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology\/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018, when she resigned to pursue her art, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan.\r\n\r\nJason J Ferguson uses humor, the uncanny, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions, performance, video, and sculptural objects.

Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\r\n\r\nJay Fox is a printmaker, papermaker, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton, North Carolina, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print, Letterpress, Books, and Paper coordinator.\r\n\r\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth\u2019s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, the Society of North American Goldsmiths, the Mondriaan Foundation, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\r\n#skyshapes\r\n\r\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist, artist, historian, librarian, developer, educator. He\u2019s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University, an MS from Oxford, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant.

She makes bold mixed-media paintings, murals, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show \u2018This Must Be The Place\u201d was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or \u2018environmental mementos\u2019 through direct tracing of the physical environment, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo, Hawaii.\r\n\r\nAbout the Curator:\r\n\r\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist, educator, curator, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.
