The Land of Wandering v. 1

The first of a three-volume project titled ""Exquisite History"", ""The Land of Wandering"" offers a combination of art and poetry centered around desire, nostalgia, and the restless spirit that leads us to wander. Created by the Printmakers Left, a group of artists and poets working collaboratively out of the University of Virginia's printmaking programs, the volume is being published to coincide with an accompanying exhibition at the McIntire Department of Art's Off Grounds Gallery in Charlottesville. Composed of University of Virginia faculty, alumni, visiting artists, and friends, the Printmakers Left has worked together for ten years on a variety of exhibitions, portfolios, and books. The artists include: Bogdan Achimescu, Anne Beck, David Bendernagel, Charles Beneke, Maggie Booth, Barbara Campbell, Betsy Cavalier, Jeremy Chen, Josh Dailey, Dean Dass, Lydia Diemer, David Dunlap, Dana Giacofci, Brian Kelly, Karen Kevorkian, Roland Lusk, Adam Moyer, Akemi Ohira, Justin Quinn, Martha Saunders, Rebecca Silberman, Lisa Russ Spaar, Elizabeth Stark, Chris Thomas, Annu Vertanen, Kazaan Viveiros, Rob Walker, Kari Weber, Clay Witt, Sam Witt, Adam Wolpa, and others.
