They permanently mount translucent prints and drawings directly on top of video screens, creating moving images on paper. They incorporate technologies and aesthetics from traditional printmaking &#8211; including woodblock, silk screen, etching, lithography, photogravure, etc &#8211; with the technologies and aesthetics of contemporary digital, video and networked art, to explore images as multidimensional. Their juxtaposition of anachronistic and disparate methods, materials and content &#8211; print and video, paper and electronics, real and virtual &#8211; enables novel approaches to understanding each. The artists work with subject matter ranging from historical portraiture to current events, from artificial landscapes to socially awkward moments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial;\">Jessica Meuninck-Ganger<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial;\"> is a Milwaukee-based artist.
