 2019 is the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Ra
 ilroad. Regarded as one of the more monumental events in US history\, the 
 completion of the railroad happened at Promontory Point in Utah. There are
  the obvious benefits that came from linking east and west\, but at what c
 ost? Environmental destruction\, exploitative labor\, displacement of Indi
 genous populations\, etc&hellip\; I invited the participating artists to m
 ake a print on this topic to help our ongoing conversation surrounding the
  US history of westward expansion as well as Manifest Destiny.</p>\n<p><st
 rong>ARTIST BIO</strong></p>\n<p>Andrew Rice has always called the Rocky M
 ountain West region his home. Born in Aspen\, CO\, he received his BFA in 
 printmaking from the University of Colorado in Boulder and his MFA in Salt
  Lake City\, UT at the University of Utah\, where he currently teaches pri
 ntmaking. Through a variety of print processes\, oil stick drawings\, and 
 collage\, Rice&rsquo\;s work investigates the use and occupation of space.
  How we have a need to carve out a space of our own\, no matter our enviro
 nment.</p>\n<p>Rice has exhibited his work widely at national and internat
 ional venues including the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art\, CUAC (Central
  Utah Art Center)\, the Holter Museum of Art in Helena\, MT\, 2nd Kaunas I
 nternational Printmaking Biennial (Kaunas\, Lithuania)\, IMPACT 9 China Ac
 ademy of Art (Hangzhou\, China)\, Krakow International Print Triennial &nd
 ash\; Falun\, Sweden.</p>\nhttps://slcpl.libnet.info/event/3199640
