Meet the ICA Print Center 2009 Artists-in-Residence:

Although perhaps best known for his large-scale murals and public art, Portuguese born Rigo 23 is an interdisciplinary artist whose politically motivated artwork also includes paintings, drawings, prints and books. His most recent work includes eight large canvases that portray activist events from 1985 - 1994. For these pieces Rigo chose specific incidents that have largely been forgotten by Bay Area residents but have shaped national and global politics. One of these, Anti-War Protesters Shut Bay Bridge Two Days in a Row, was recently exhibited at the ICA in Eureka!, a group show featuring the 2005-2007 Eureka Award recipients.

Lewis deSoto's conceptually driven artwork brilliantly combines the past and the present and posits about the future. Culling from a range of influences including anthropology, sociology, history, religion, literature, music and personal memory, he utilizes a variety of media to provide commentary on his personal histories as they apply to contemporary culture. Born in San Bernardino, CA, deSoto received his MFA at the Claremont Graduate School and is a professor of photography at San Francisco State University. From February 1 - March 28, 2009, the ICA will feature the work of deSoto in all three of its galleries.

Linn Meyers employs multiple circles placed in a symmetrical arrangement within horizontal and vertical axes. Her interest in this form is based in the ideal of perfection and the suggestion of wholeness. In her works each circle relates physically to the others. The lines flow and loop around the framework of the circle matrix to create an image which is simultaneously still and moving and alludes to perfection while being wholly imperfect. Based in Washington, DC, Meyers received a BFA from The Cooper Union, NYC and an MFA from The California College of the Arts, San Francisco. In spring 2008 Meyers created a site-specific drawing at the ICA as part of the exhibition, The Space Between.

For Christel Dillbohner art is visual research and dissemination. Her creative process is based on investigating events and concepts through uncommon viewpoints and tools, then transforming theses ideas through materials. She has worked with clay, paper, photography, wax and pigments to create her assemblages, collages, paintings and sculpture. In August 2009 at the ICA, Dillbohner will create Ice Floe: a large-scale site-specific installation. This "fictitious melting landscape" is inspired by the impact of global warming on Antarctica. Originally from Germany, Dillbohner received her MFA from the Cologne Art School. She has been based in the Bay Area for over 12 years.
