SUMMARY:Oh\, won’t you be my neighbor?–Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Kellie Hames’ new body of work\, “Oh\, won’t you be my neighbor?”\, debuts in The Printshop at Spudnik Press. Hames explores isolation and connectivity in the Midwest suburbs. \n“I find it unusual that\, despite the close proximity there is a distance between neighbors in these communities\, especially among young individuals. I attribute this to modern advances\, where technology allows us to communicate with those we choose and ignore others\, and where a wider social connection corresponds directly to a more isolated personal connection.” \nBorn and raised in Minnesota\, Kellie Hames attained her BFA in printmaking from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2010. Pursuing her love for lithography\, Hames applied and was accepted to the world-renowned Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque\, New Mexico in 2011.  After successfully completing the second year apprenticeship Hames was awarded a Master Printer certificate from Tamarind Institute and to this day holds the record for the most editions pulled by a second year apprentice printer. \nHer work has been exhibited nationally\, most notably at the Plains Art Museum (Fargo\, ND)\, The North Dakota Museum of Art (Grand Forks\, ND) and the University of the Arts Gallery (Philadelphia\, PA)\, among others. Hames is currently studying at Northern Illinois University and residing in DeKalb\, Illinois. \nOh\, won’t you be my neighbor? is curated by Elise Forer\, 2014 Studio Fellow.

SUMMARY:The Wrong Story—Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Wrong Story is a solo exhibition of relief and silkscreen prints made while Aschman was Artist in Residence at Spudnik Press from March through May\, 2014\, and an accompanying stop-motion animation created from the printed works. Aschman employs symbolic motifs such as ropes\, braids\, ladders and hands\, which through intuitive association form a fractured narrative about moments of convergence and separation between individuals. She embraces incoherence and ambiguity to communicate the fragmented and uneasy experience of encountering another person’s reality. Limbs detach\, bodies open to reveal hidden objects\, peculiar figures gather among stepped archways\, hesitating to touch\, in an endless loop with no discernable climax or resolution. The Wrong Story wavers at the frayed edges of a narrative\, unraveling the artist’s desire for both connection and solitude.

SUMMARY:Recombinant Stare: a Stare Magazine Retrospective–Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Recombinant Stare is an exhibition that pulls together strands from Kevin Riordan’s Stare Press\, particularly Stare Magazine\, a publication focusing on irreverent and arresting graphic art and writing that ran from1976-1991. The show consists of issues of the magazine as well as books\, posters\, press sheets\, photostats\, and photographs. It also brings together recent and selected publications and works by some of the many Stare contributors\, including Wayne Bertola\, Mike Brehm\, Elroy Christy\, Peter Hannan\, Bradley Lastname\, Jean Riordan and the late Fritz Wolfmeyer. The show will be accompanied by the publication of a printed book that is part catalog and part transgression against the encrypted order of cataloguing. Stare steps on toes and gets up your nose by throwing its flyweight around without leaving the ground. \nKevin Riordan is a lifelong Chicagoan and long time staff and faculty member of Columbia College Chicago. A former art museum security guard\, sock salesman and comic book production slave\, he attended 6 post secondary schools including vocational training at the Boys Club\, 1975\, in printing\, which he used to subvert American culture throughout the next few decades\, through the publication of Stare magazine and other seditious editions and exhibitions.

SUMMARY:CPG 5 Year Anniversary Exhibition + Horrifically Obvious—Double Reception
DESCRIPTION:In The Annex:\nEstablished in 2009\, the Chicago Printers Guild (CPG) supports and fosters the work of printers and seeks to bridge the gap between commercial printing and fine-art printmaking. \nThe CPG 5 Year Anniversary highlights the collaborative nature and collective ethos of the guild by presenting both individual collaborative works by members of the guild. As the CPG reaches a five year milestone\, we celebrates the exemplary work in print media being produced in Chicago and showcase the impact the guild has on its members and the Chicago printmaking community alike. New collaborative works are by featured artists Jaclyn Jacunski\, Kate McQuillen\, Matt Bodett\, Megan Sterling\, Justin Santora\, Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff\, Todd Irwin\, and Maggie Marlin. Additional prints will be on display from the CPG Archive\, house by the Center for Book and Paper Arts at Columbia College. Additionally\, the exhibition will include a free takeaway designed by Troy Lehman and printed on Spudnik Press Cooperative’s newest equipment\, a Risograph 3700. \nThe CPG 5 Year Anniversary Opening Reception will be held Saturday October 18th\, 6-9pm and is a Featured Chicago Artist Month Event. In addition to the Annex at Spudnik Press\, the 1821 Hubbard Street Lofts are hosting their Fall Open House. Participating venues include Platform Studios\, Tsubo Salon and the private studios of Gerda Meyer Bernstein and Doug Fogelson. \nMore Details \nIn The Printshop:\nTate Foley’s new body of work\, Horrifically Obvious\, elaborates on the theme of duality and doubling\, a focal point of his studio practice. The series consists of individual prints and drawings hung side by side in pairs—a reference to the spread or gutter in a book. Foley utilizes the spread as a device to force previous unrelated pieces into relationship and dialogue. Each element\, informed by its counterpart forms a more complete whole. Yet even as we set out to discover and understand the connections between them\, Foley’s use of office supply hanging mechanisms (metallic tape and binder clips) and varied techniques (drawing\, risograph\, screen printing\, and digital printing) remind us the current status and the meaning of the work is in flux\, playfully subject to influence and change. \nMore Details

SUMMARY:Double // Crossed–Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Spudnik Press Cooperative presents Double Crossed\, an exhibition of new works by Chicago-based artists Salvador Andrade Arévalo\, Kim Morski\, and Brad Rohloff completed during their 2014 Studio Fellowship at the print shop. Double-crossed hones in on the artists’ desire to poke and prod the perception of trickery\, be it slight misgivings or outright deception. Collectively\, they employ a wide range of printing techniques including etching\, relief\, screenprint\, letterpress\, risograph\, and offset lithography. \nSalvador Andrade Arevalo will display a series of etchings of phosphenes printed from a single plate\, reworked over time. His repeated attempts to capture the fleeting qualities of a visual phenomenon are documented across variations in each print\, in which the surface of the plate was changed or the color of the ink altered. \nKim Morski will present three new artist books that explore the duality of language and behavior. Varying in format in media\, each book’s content is related to secret biological weapons tests that began in the 1950s\, in which military-contracted scientists tested the dispersal of zinc cadmium sulfide in St. Louis\, Missouri. \nBrad Rohloff ‘s studio practice includes comics\, editions\, and drawing\, as well as printing the work of other artists via his Chicago-based publishing house\, Bred Press. Working with the multiple\, Rohloff will include editioned objects and prints that question the autonomy and authority of objects.

SUMMARY:CHASING POSADA: A Macabre Populist in the City–Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:19 printmakers have responded to the artwork and ideas of José Guadalupe Posada (1852 – 1913)\, a popular illustrator-printmaker who had a unique working relationship with the urban environment of Mexico City. Posada observed the city from the window of his street corner studio\, as he produced broadsides and periodicals to be circulated in the streets. In these\, Posada trafficked in a “macabre populism\,” giving his audience what they wanted—disasters\, freaks of nature\, social scandals and scenes of fantastical and everyday violence. It was a vision of an unstable and violent world but also an act of honoring the daily struggle of living. For this exhibition\, a group of artists have created limited edition prints and another group has contributed to a limited edition newsprint tabloid publication\, keeping in mind Posada and his presence in the city as a “macabre populist.” \nCHASING POSADA: A Macabre Populist in the City is a Rotland Press Exposition and is curated by Ryan Standfest. \nFeatured Artists:\nMarie-Pierre Brunel / Tom Carey / Stephen Cavanagh / Sue Coe / Bill Connors / D.B. Dowd / Bill Fick / Céline Guichard / Ben Jones / Kaz / Erik Lundquist / Marc Brunier-Mestas / Yusuke Okada / Onsmith / David Paleo / Grant Reynolds / Arnaud Rochard / David Sandlin / Stephen William Schudlich / Caroline Sury / Wouter Vanhaelemeesch / Chris Wright \nChasing Posada opens Saturday January 17\, 2015 and runs through Friday March 6\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Graphic Notation 101: Ten x Ten 2015 Kick Off
DESCRIPTION:Ten x Ten 2015 kicks off Sunday\, February 8 with a free afternoon lecture\, Graphic Notation 101 featuring Jordan Martins and Katherine Young\, at Spudnik Press Cooperative. The artists and musicians of Ten x Ten 2015 will also be in attendance. \nSince the early 20th century\, artists have found inspiration in the pure abstraction of instrumental music. There has been a rich history of synaesthetic approaches to relating color to timbre and tonality in both scientific and highly subjective ways. More recently\, music notation incorporating graphic elements outside of the traditional staff have served as a way to travel the territory between improvisation\, chance operations\, and non-traditional composition while negotiating the balance between the interpretive power of the performer and the single-sourced autonomy of the composer. With the help of composer and bassoonist Katherine Young and visual artist and musician Jordan Martins\, Graphic Notation 101 will explore the history of some of these practices as well as underline the compositional and interpretive techniques as play.This is the first of four opportunities to experience the eight-month process of creating the next Ten x Ten. Following the lecture\, the Ten x Ten 2015 artists and musicians will meet their collaborators and begin developing their contribution to the project. \nPlease join the Ten x Ten mailing list to hear updates as the project develops over the course of the year and visit tenxtenchicago.com for weekly blog updates.

SUMMARY:Improvised Music Series: Ten x Ten Working Performance
DESCRIPTION:The long-running Improvised Music Series from Elastic Arts makes a guest appearance at Constellation as part of Ten x Ten 2015’s eight-month production pairing ten musicians with ten visual artists to create collaborative recordings and fine art prints. The Improvised Music Series: Working Performance is a rare opportunity for the public to witness the creative and collaborative process as it happens. Relying heavily on improvisation\, each musician-artist pair will workshop their ideas and experiment with how to translate ideas from sound to image\, and vice versa. Each musician will direct the ensemble as they develop their compositions. At the same time\, the audience will be able to watch projections of the artists visually responding and refining their designs in real time. \nTen x Ten is a collaborative project between visual artists and musicians under the curatorial guidance of three distinct Chicago organizations: Elastic Arts\, Homeroom\, and Spudnik Press. Now in it’s fourth iteration\, the project has expanded to include four innovative events. With Elastic Arts Foundation as guest curator\, the project highlights the genre of jazz and investigates how artists across media interpret improvisation. Curators Dave Rempis and Paul Giallorenzo have selected ten musicians to create an ensemble that will perform the new works commissioned through this project. Each musician will compose one track\, each created in partnership with a visual artist. Homeroom curator Colin Palombi has invited ten visual artists to design a corresponding 18” x 18” artwork that will be produced in an edition of ten hand printed serigraphs. A limited edition catalog of the prints will be paired with the vinyl record and distributed as a collectable compilation. \n  \nThe Ten x Ten 2015 participants are:\nVisual Artists\nSalvador Andrade Arévalo\nJerome Bryerton\nUriel Correa\nRob Funderburk\nTrevor Goosen\nAndrew Holmquist\nHannah Ireland\nVesna Jovanovic\nAlexander Stewart\nCynthia Weiss \nMusicians\nJosh Berman\nPaul Giallorenzo\nAnton Hatwich\nKeefe Jackson\nPeter Maunu\nEli Namay\nRyan Packard\nCameron Pfiffner\nJason Stein\nPhil Sudderberg \nPlease join the Ten x Ten mailing list to hear updates as the project develops over the course of the year and visit tenxtenchicago.com for weekly blog updates.
