Introducing the inaugural CHICAGO PRINTERS GUILD PAPER JAM: A Month-Long Celebration of Printers & Printmaking
This fall, all are welcome to join a celebration of all things print at the inaugural CHICAGO PRINTERS GUILD PAPER JAM at Co-Prosperity (3219 S. Morgan St.)
Every weekend from Sept. 29 — Oct. 21. All events are free and open to the public.
The month-long residency will feature four-weekend exhibitions and workshops celebrating the past, present, and future of print in Chicago from the home of Printers Row and the birthplace of the typeface Cooper Black.
The celebration concludes with the return of the annual CPG Publishers Fair print market.
Let’s jam, Chicago!
Opening September 29, closing October 27.
For Losing Weight are two works that I completed in 2021-2022, in one of which I accumulated objects, exhausted possibilities, and generated artworks, while in the other I kept subtracting, not only materially but also formally, trying to collapse to the minimum value of A perceivable work. In the tension they present, nothing is attempted to be discussed, at least for me, they are the aftermath of the action, the residue of the narrative. They were the means I used to coexist with my situation at the time, to achieve some purpose, paradoxically and pragmatically. They did work.
Opening September 29, closing November 11.
Friday: closed
