SUMMARY:Drink & Draw October: Surrealist Doodle Jam with Logan Kruidenier
DESCRIPTION:Surrealist games are a great way to break habits\, generate ideas\, and make new friends while drawing. Our October Guest Artists\, Logan Kruidenier\, has been leading “Doodle Jams” throughout the city inspired by his practice of making quick drawings on post-it notes every morning. This practice has become an essential part of his day and has brought fresh ideas and new compositions to his art practice. \nBuild your own wacky narratives with the aid of surrealist exercises and a pad of post-it notes. Experiment with storytelling and composition by arranging (and rearranging) the post-its.  Break out of you normal routines\, enjoy a mid-week beverage\, and channel your inner Dalí! \nLogan Kruidenier is a multi-media artist who makes comics\, prints\, drawings\, and most recently\, public art installations and performances. Kruidenier uses narration to address themse of immersion\, identity\, and consumption. He recently completed a Bachelors in Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Printmaking at California State University\, Chico and spent a year abroad at the Kunsthochschule Mainz in Germany. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key event devoted to drawing practices. There is no teacher and no pretensions. Spudnik provides a theme for the evening\, props\, and festive drink. You provide a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and come with friends! Drawing nights take place the first Wednesday of every other month.

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw December 2017: Home for the Holidays | Architectural Drawing with Kate Lewis
DESCRIPTION:From the bowling alley where you had your 7th birthday party (complete with bumpers) to your high school stomping grounds\, your hometown is a limitless source of memories and inspiration. Tap into your youthful musings as we drink and draw our way down memory lane. We’ll provide pencils\, card stock\, and micron pens and you provide some nostalgic photos that take you back to snow days\, family traditions and early adventures. For those who look to Chicago as their hometown or source of pride\, we’ll have some images on hand of Chicago’s favorite landmarks.\nKate Lewis grew to love art through her passion for math. After studying accounting for years at the University of Florida\, she graduated with a BA in 2010\, and immediately decided to shift to the business of illustrating. To chronicle trips taken around the world while backpacking\, she found herself drawn towards buildings that best represented the experiences she was having and digesting in other cultures\, and things began to spiral from there. Using what she learned about calculated angles\, organization\, numbers\, and lines\, she felt like she was working the same part of her brain to draw as she was solving complicated equations\, so she ran with it and never looked back. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation. The event is BYOB\, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation.

SUMMARY:Chicago: A Cross-Town Exchange | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Throughout Chicago’s history\, printmakers played an active role in the community as publishers and distributors. Local papers were printed and distributed as early as 1833. With easy access to freight lines\, numerous plants\, and a growing workforce\, Chicago rose to become a printing giant during the late 19th Century. At a time ruled by commercial printing\, many printers and publishers relocated south of the Loop into Printers Row\, also known as Printing House Row\, allowing them to expand into larger facilities and bringing them closer to the Dearborn Street train station. By 1960\, there were 2\,100 printing establishments in the city\, including the world’s three largest at the time. \nBut as use of automation and digital technology changed the face of commercial printing\, a new group of Chicago printers emerged. Independent\, artist-run shops\, including Landfall Press and Plucked Chicken Press opened in the 1970s. Since then\, and no longer centralized in Printers Row\, many print shops sprouted throughout the city and continue to engage the community through the creation of art that embraces socially engaged themes and/or by addressing a wide range of commercial needs. \nChicago: A Cross-Town Exchange is an exhibition that features a print portfolio of the same name\, bringing together 26 artists/collectives from numerous print shops and studios across the city and surrounding neighborhoods. While this is a small sampling of the city’s thriving printmaking community\, it is demonstrative of Chicago’s collaborative spirit and the many spaces that allow for the creation of printed work. This portfolio of prints includes multiple print processes such as screenprinting\, relief\, intaglio\, and more. \nFeatured Artists:\nVictoria Marie Barquin | Chicago Printers Guild\, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative\nKai Boogert\nLiz Born | Hoofprint\nMatthew Bozik | Hoofprint\, Chicago Printers Guild\nTiffany Breyne | Spudnik Press Cooperative\nNick Capozzoli | FugScreens Studios\nJohn Cizmar | Chicago Printers Guild\nElke Claus | Evil Scientist\nEric Cortez | The Printstitute at Harold Washington College\nExpressions Graphics\nLiana Faletto | Spudnik Press Cooperative\, Chicago Printers Guild\nAndrew Ghrist | A R Ghrist Prints\nMegan Hinds | Chicago Printmakers Collaborative\nGabe Hoare | Hoofprint\nCarolina Martinez | Spudnik Press Cooperative\nMichelle McCoy | Chicago Printmakers Collaborative\nEpifanio Monarrez | Instituto Gráfico de Chicago\nAlexandrea Pataky | Chicago Printers Guild\nRichard Repasky | The Printstitute at Harold Washington College\nNicolette Ross | Spudnik Press Cooperative\, Double Trip Press\nRobert Scheffler | Chicago Printers Guild\, Chicago Printmakers Collaborative\nEmily Shopp | Spudnik Press Cooperative\nRandi Stella | Spudnik Press Cooperative\nHannah R.

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw February 2018: Portraits for Your Valentine with Grace Makuch
DESCRIPTION:Are you tired of the way Valentine’s Day sugarcoats our relationships? Sometimes our relationships (and life in general) can be a bit barbaric\, awkward\, unassuming\, or crude. Our portrait-themed Drink & Draw embraces drawing as a way to capture a simple\, honest\, authentic\, whimsical\, and unfiltered impression of those we love. \nGrab a photo of a person or creature you really really really like (a crush\, a lover\, a life partner\, a furry friend\, your childhood hermit crab\, a personal hero\, your best bud). Immortalize their face in a collection of candid doodles. \nGuest illustrator and humorist\, Grace Makuch\, will guide our guests through fun projects that co-opt office supplies (Sharpies and index cards) to create simple little portraits that are perfect to send as a valentine\, a postcard\, or secret note. \nGrace Makuch is an artist\, printmaker\, and genius living in Chicago\, Illinois. She is interested in the intersection of two-dimensional art and comedy\, and her work often reflects themes of humor and sadness. Makuch is an alumni of the Spudnik Press Studio Fellowship Program and has experience working in various printmaking techniques. \n\nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation.

SUMMARY:Roots | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Roots\, a solo exhibition featuring new work by artist Yasaman Moussavi. \nThe visual content of the Moussavi’s work for this exhibition is personal and intimate\, consisting of etchings that depict creatures entangled in a natural space. As she explores the ties between individual and environment\, she begins to unearth emotions\, associations\, and memories that one attaches to physical spaces to discover the abiding bond between nature and us. \nFor Moussavi\, etching is a dance of covering and uncovering\, building and destroying whatever she imagines onto her copper plates. In this sense\, printmaking bridges her inner and external worlds. Moussavi also crafts an intimate relationship between her medium of choice and the visual message she wants to communicate by making her own paper. Upon layering and reconstructing handmade papers\, she fuses the intricate forms found in her etchings with dynamic natural forms. \nAt a time in history when we suffer from great divisive rhetoric and disconnect in and with politics\, the environment and each other\, Moussavi dreams of growing roots and connecting with the self\, nature\, and people. \nYasaman Moussavi was born in Tehran\, Iran and received her BFA in painting from the Al-Zahra University of Tehran and an MA in Art Studies from The University of Tehran. She also holds an MFA with an emphasis in painting and printmaking from Texas Tech University\, where she explored and developed her skills in papermaking\, printmaking and installation art. Moussavi has participated in many national and international exhibitions\, including the Juried International Exhibition of Contemporary Art\, Irving Art center\, TX\, A.I.R Gallery Biennial\, Brooklyn\, NY\, “Norouzaneh” International Mini Print Annual Exhibition at Sagene Kunstsmie\, Oslo\, Spazio 74/b Milan and Chicago. \nRoots will be on view at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard St.\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622\, March 9\, 2018 through April 21\, 2018. \nImage: Yasaman Moussavi\, Breathe on me\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw April 2018: Magical Creatures with Lauren Levato Coyne
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our April Drink & Draw as we take some of the stress out of observational drawing by using taxidermy animals as a point of departure. Our guest artist is Lauren Levato Coyne\, known for her fairytale-like drawings that combine simple figurative line renderings with lush illustrations of creatures. She will lead light-hearted drawing activities inspired by her own artistic practice and interest in blurring reality and non-reality. We’ll provide an array of still life props\, including taxidermy specimen\, for inspiration. By adding a bit of surrealism and magical flare\, our Drink & Draw guests will be able to create their own mystical creatures! \nLauren Levato Coyne is a Chicago-based artist and writer. She was trained at the School of Representational Art in Chicago and studied privately with Steven Assael in NYC. Levato Coyne also holds a degree in Professional Writing from Purdue University and another in Political Journalism from Georgetown University. She regularly contributes art essays and has published several collections of poetry\, and is represented by Aron Packer Projects in Chicago. \nSpudnik Press would like to extend a special thank you to member Robert Kelsey and to our friends at Woolly Mammoth Antiques & Oddities for lending us some of their specimen for this drawing session. Woolly Mammoth is a curiosity cabinet of odd\, amusing and eclectic items and conveniently located at 1513 W. Foster Ave.\, near Clark. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist.

SUMMARY:Entre Rios y Montañas | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Entre Rios y Montañas (Between Rivers and Mountains)\, a solo exhibition featuring new work by Chicago-based artist Jonathan Herrera. \nThe work featured in Entre Rios y Montañas stems from Herrera’s deep interest and continued investigation of the relationships between collective memory and historical instances of state-sponsored violence and trauma inflicted on politicized bodies. Often the victims of these crimes\, or rather their bodies that disappear\, leave behind stories not in words but in gesture. Trails of clothing are found in the deserts between borders as they get stuck on fences with barbed wire or wash up onto shores of beaches. These garments are sometimes attached to lifeless bodies while others manage to claim autonomy from the flesh. \nThrough these collographs\, akin to rubbings\, Herrera explores the connection between clothing and the body\, as well as the relationship between forensic evidence and items of personal significance. By employing this print-based process\, Herrera partakes in an act of remembrance as he produces tracings and impression of clothing left behind. His harsh\, and almost violent\, treatment of the objects carries forth into the artwork’s final presentation. Ultimately\, the objects of clothing rendered in Herrera’s work are declarations unto themselves\, left behind by bodies to evoke lived experiences. \nJonathan Herrera is a print-based studio artist and teacher from Chicago\, IL. He holds a BFA from the Minneapolis College in Art and Design. Through his studio practice and teaching philosophy\, Herrera engages multiple facets of place-making and thinking in order to express ideas through concept building\, process\, and materials. He constantly works to create accessibility in both art and education by connecting his studio work\, public work\, and community engagement. Herrera has recently exhibited work at the Minnesota Museum of American Art\, The Soap Factory (Minneapolis\, MN)\, and Concordia Gallery (St. Paul\, MN). \nEntre Rios y Montañas will be on view at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard St.\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622\, April 27\, 2018 through June 9\, 2018. \nImage: Jonathan Herrera\, Untitled\, 2017 (detail).

SUMMARY:Spudnik Press Community Day
DESCRIPTION:2:00     Pop-Up Exhibition\n2:00     Layers & Shapes: Communal Pattern Making Workshop\n2:00     Assembled Parts: Collaborative Relief Printmaking\n5:00     1/1: Print Politics and the Monoprint Panel Discussion\nCome take part in a day of communal printmaking presented by our 2017/2018 Studio Fellows\, Molly Berkson\, Ben Garbus\, Brendan Robson\, and Cristina Umaña. \nAs a culminating aspect of their 7-month Fellowship\, these artists have collaborated to design and present a robust day of programming that invites our community to see\, make\, and talk about artwork.  Spudnik Press Community Day is also a day to celebrate the artwork and accomplishments of these four emerging artist. \nSpudnik Community Day will fully activate out studios and include two collaborative drop-in workshops\, a pop-up exhibition\,  and a panel discussion. All of these activities focus on communal printmaking practices and the intersection of various processes and motives within the umbrella of printmaking. \nWith a focus on screenprinting and relief printing\, guests will learn introductory printmaking processes through making their own prints and contributing to the creation of a collaborative group monoprint. The evening will culminate with a panel discussion exploring monoprints and ideas surrounding the political and social implications of this type of printmaking as an art form. \n\n1/1: Print Politics and the Monoprint is a panel discussion with Chicago-based artists on the topic of monoprints and the political consciousness surrounding this form of printmaking. Unlike other types of printmaking\, an image produced through monoprinting can only be made once. Using this as a point of departure for our conversation\, we will address why some artists are choosing more and more to create prints of this nature and whether it’s a commercial trend or a political statement\, or else something new altogether.  \nAbout the Panelists: \nJessica Christy is a printmaker\, designer\, and North Dakota native living in the Chicago area. She received her MFA from the University of North Dakota in 2011 and has since created works that challenge the status quo of human activity and the resulting impacts. Heavily influenced by her upbringing in the Dakota culture\, Christy often weaves the Native experience into her pieces. Her work has shown both nationally and internationally\, most recently at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nJordan Martins received his MFA in visual arts from the Universidade Federal da Bahia in Salvador\, Brazil in 2007\, and teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and North Park University. He is the executive director of Comfort Station\, a multi-disciplinary art space. Martins’s visual work is based in collage processes\, including mixed media two dimensional work\, photography\, video and installation\, and he has exhibited nationally and internationally. He is co-director of the Perto da Lá\, a biennial multidisplinary art event with international artists in Salvador\, Brazil. From 2014 to 2016 he served on the programming committee for the Chicago Jazz Festival. He was a resident in the Chicago Artists Coalition’s HATCH program in 2013\, a mentor for their LAUNCH program in 2016 and 2017\, and currently serves on their Educational Advisory Panel.

SUMMARY:States of I: A Conversation | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of States of I: A Conversation with featured visiting artists Mary Jones and Jolynn Reigeluth. \nJones and Reigeluth are artists that live and work in states of “I;” respectively\, Indianola\, Iowa and Indianapolis\, Indiana. In addition to living in states that start with the same letter\, these printmakers have a penchant for building images from a central persona who is at best an unreliable narrator\, caught and fraught in a landscape of self. \n\nIn their work\, both artists celebrate the absurdity of being human by bringing to light those untold internal monologues. These autobiographical works by Jones and Reigeluth exemplify their shared interests in narrative imagery\, as well as a love for the graphic legacy and energy coming out of Chicago\, Illinois. For this exhibition\, Jones and Reigeluth will contribute two bodies of work that culminate in a conversation with a set of two prints – one from each artist – that correspond in size and title. \nStates of I: A Conversation will be on view through August 11\, 2018 at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard Street\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622. \nStates of I: A Conversation will kick-off with a Artist Talk at 6:15 p.m. on June 15th\, followed by the Opening Reception. The exhibition runs through August 11\, 2018. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, noon to 5:00 p.m.\, or by appointment. This exhibition was selected by the Spudnik Press Member Exhibitions Committee. \n\nImages (left to right): Jolynn Reigeluth\, These Are My Legs II\, 2017 (detail); Mary Jones\, Harryette\, 2017 (detail).

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw August 2018: Repeat Patterns with Orr Gidon
DESCRIPTION:Did you ever wonder how wallpaper designers create intricate patterns that fit together seamlessly? Or have you ever wanted to make your own spunky gift wrap? If so\, stop by our August Drink & Draw to learn some fun approaches to designing your own unique patterns\, as elegant\, devious\, or wacky as you desire. \nGuest artist\, Orr Gidon\, will guide us through a collaborative approach to pattern making inspired by M.C. Escher’s tessellations. Learn how to weave basic shapes and lines into a rich tapestry of marks and textures that captures everyone’s style\, be it floral\, squiggly\, or geometric. If you fall in love with your design\, perhaps you can return to Spudnik to turn it into curtains or gift wrap! \nOrr Gidon is a freelance artist\, designer\, and fabricator living and working in Chicago. Their design work emphasizes principles of ergonomics\, multi-functionality\, and sustainability with a sculptural approach. In their 2D work\, Gidon is stimulated by pattern\, repetition of line\, and shape to create visual movements and optical illusions. Within their 3D practice\, Gidon explores concepts of change and movement through processes of material manipulation\, employing wood\, metal\, and glass. Gidon earned their BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where they studied Printmedia and 3D Design & Fabrication. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation. The event is BYOB\, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Richard Hull | Featuring Tim Daisy and Katinka Kleijn
DESCRIPTION:Spudnik Press Cooperative\, together with Fulton Street Collective\, are pleased to present An Evening with Richard Hull\, Featuring Tim Daisy and Katinka Kleijn. This special concert and print release event are organized on the occasion of a newly published limited edition of prints by esteemed artist Richard Hull\, produced by Spudnik Press Cooperative. \nAs part of the invitational Fine Art Editions Program at Spudnik Press\, Hull created a sugar-lift aquatint intaglio print. The work is comprised of concentric circles and loops\, carefully arranged on top of one another and accentuated by repetitive forms to give rise to a harmonious potrait-like structure\, titled “Spud”. \nA longtime fan of jazz improvisation\, Hull’s lyrical artwork\, including selections from his recent exhibition at Western Exhibitions\, will be featured alongside a rare musical performance by Chicago-based percussionist and composer Tim Daisy and reknown Dutch cellist Katinka Kleijn. Distinguished for their contributions to the field of improvised music\, Daisy and Kleijn will delight our audience with a spontaneous composition in response to Hull’s work\, as well as share a few personal anecdotes about their cross-disciplinary collaboration —all in the intimate environment of Fulton Street Collective’s space. \nAbout the Artists:  \nTim Daisy is a percussionist and composer working in the fields of improvised and composed music. He has performed and recorded original music for modern dance\, sound installations\, film\, and improvised music ensembles of various configurations since 1997. Daisy owns and operates Relay Records and also helps curate the weekly OPTION series at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago. \nRichard Hull is an accomplished artist with paintings\, drawings and prints in numerous private collections. He has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; Nelson-Atkins Museum\, Kansas City; the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art\, Ridgefield\, CT; Contemporary Art Center\, Cincinnati\, OH; Portland Art Museum\, OR; the Cleveland Institute of Art\, Cleveland\, OH; and the Painting Center\, New York\, NY to name a few. Richard Hull is represented by Western Exhibitions\, Chicago. \nKatinka Kleijn defies today’s traditional definition of a cellist\, transitioning comfortably through the styles of classical\, experimental\, contemporary\, improvisatory\, folk and progressive rock\, as well as across the traditional fields of solo\, chamber and orchestral performance. Kleijn is a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, and is in frequent demand as soloist. \nImage: Richard Hull\, Spud\, 2018 (detail).

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Carris Adams
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this summer\, we had the great and distinct pleasure of welcoming Chicago-based artist Carris Adams for a three-week residency at Spudnik Press Cooperative. During her time spent with us\, Adams developed a new edition of prints based on a series of paintings inspired by signage found in the landscape that exists in multiples. This body of work stems from the artist’s investigation of visual markers of “domesticated space” (i.e. roads\, residential structures\, commercial structures\, government buildings\, cemeteries\, advertisements\, etc.) and the relational threads between ownership in marginalized spaces\, politics\, class\, histories\, celebration\, and resilience. \nOn August 30\, 2018\, join us for an intimate gathering as we welcome Carris Adams back for a conversation about what drives her itinerant tendencies and unsettled curiosity in her art practice and how printmaking allowed her to further some if the ideas and aesthetic choices in her work\, which up until recently was unchartered territory for this painter and drawer. \nA casual reception is to follow\, featuring a temporary installation of Adams’ prints created during her residency displayed alongside the paintings that inspired them. This event is free and open to the public. \nAbout the Artist: \nCarris Adams is a visual artist whose practice visually investigates markers of “domesticated space”. The conceptually multi-layered works seek to inform and position viewers to recognize their assumptions\, recall an experience and perhaps note how societal markers materialize in the landscape. Adams received her BFA from the University of Texas at Austin (2013) and her MFA from the University of Chicago (2015). Adams’s work has been exhibited at The Studio Museum in Harlem ( New York\, NY) \, The Logan Center Exhibitions at The University of Chicago (Chicago\, IL)\, Produce Model Gallery (Chicago\, IL) Tiger Strikes Asteroid Gallery (Chicago\,IL) and The Courtyard Gallery at The University of Texas at Austin (Austin\, TX). \nTo learn more about Adams and her work\, please visit: www.carrisadams.com.

SUMMARY:Now More Than Ever | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Now More Than Ever\, a solo exhibition featuring work by Emmy Lingscheit. \n\nIn Now More Than Ever\, artist Emmy Lingscheit invites us to think about the idea and aesthetics of salvaging hope\, shelter\, and community out of repression\, division\, and catastrophe caused by rapid environmental change. Her prints offer a critique of entrenched systems and attitudes that contribute to environmental damage\, amplifying social and economic inequality in the process. \nCreated specifically for this exhibition\, and in addition to her framed work\, Lingscheit hones in on the idea of a natural world out of balance through large-scale relief prints. These pieces are designed to yield prints that align edge-to-edge\, repeating infinitely and building up to a visually overwhelming abundance that is both breathtaking and grotesque. Among the specimen featured in these large-scale prints are oyster mushrooms and a bloom of jellyfish\, both of which may seem alien to us\, but are situated to inherit the earth as we change it. \nNow More Than Ever will be on view through December 29\, 2018 at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard Street\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622. \n\n  \nImage (left to right): Emmy Lingscheit\, Longitudinal Study\, 2016; Mycoremediation\, 2018 (detail).
