We’ll lead exquisite corpse\, automatic drawing\, frottage\, decalomania & more. \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!

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
