The College of Visual and Performing Arts presents an exhibition of more than twenty prints by professional printmakers from throughout the United States that were collected as a part of artist exchange organized by Oregon artist Louise Krampien.

Krampien described this project as follows: "Parallel Synchronized Randomness (a term adopted from the 2006 French film The Science of Sleep) essentially is a phenomenon which hypothesizes that like minded strangers will inevitably come into contact with each other through the nature of their own actions. The conception of this exchange began in 2000 when the organizer started noticing the personal connections that several of her instructors, peers, and members of past print exchanges already had with one another. The intention of this exchange is to acknowledge and foster this phenomenon by calling attention to several of these particular artists and asking that each participant invites another artist to be a member of the exchange."

Portfolio #13 is brought to the UMass Dartmouth Star Store campus by Adrian Tio, Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Tio, who is also a printmaker, was invited by participating artist Michael Hecht (#9), a fellow member of the Hatch Street Studios in New Bedford. Visitors can enjoy various printmaking techniques such as woodcuts, intaglios, silkscreens, linocuts, and digital glycee. The prints are displayed in numerical order by artist, allowing for unintended dialogues of color, texture, line, shape, value and design.
