MOVING TARGETS involves presenting the print medium in a specific and meaningful way. This proposal is for an international print exhibition about social concerns moving via public transportation across borders. This concept ties to the rich tradition that printmaking serves as a vehicle for expression of discontent and critique. The works of Goya’s Disasters of War series to the works of José Posada and recently to Leon Golub spoke to their times through these means. The distinctiveness of the project is that the context becomes the literal vehicle. The first exhibition of this project on the train crossed the German-Polish border to show the images as commentary and visions. MOVING TARGETS is the project title and term (to be translated to German, Polish, and now Spanish (Objetivos Moviles) to signify the difficulty in stopping something (shooting down–in military terms). They are presented under the title “Moving Targets” to demonstrate the potential of artistic prints as agents promoting reflection and change.
