2009-05-18
John Risseeuw is a printmaking professor in the ASU Herberger Institute School of Art. During December 2008, the ASU Foundation awarded him the Woodside Community Embeddedness Award for 2009. The annual award recognizes and supports an individual faculty member who has made a significant difference in educating or improving the intellectual capital or capacity of the community. The $4,000 award will fund the production of an artist's book on handmade paper that will summarize all of the prints and information in the Landmine Print Project.
Risseeuw was recognized for his project efforts to educate the public about this disaster in many countries around the world and his involvement with those affected by landmines. His award recognition letter stated: “We feel your approach is not only novel but we also appreciate your global definition of community.”
Since 2002, the Landmine Prints have been in 26 exhibitions, in the U.S., Netherlands, Canada, Japan and South Africa, including four solo shows. The Landmine Prints will be in several exhibits during 2009. Learn more about Risseeuw’s project on his Web site.
