In this episode of Platemark, I interview Cole Rogers, a master printmaker who recently co-founded C&C Editions after his long tenure at Highpoint Editions in Minneapolis. Cole talks about his journey into printmaking, his approach to the creative process, and the importance of experimental collaboration with artists. We talk about the mission-driven establishment of Highpoint Editions, which he co-founded with Carla McGrath, and which aims to support all stages of an artist's career. We talk about the transition to C&C Editions and establishing a new shop and publishing program. We cover a range of topics from the technical aspects of printmaking to the broader art ecosystem, emphasizing the importance of creativity and exploration in the art world.
