SUMMARY:Push & Pull: Steamroller Spectacular–Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:At times\, we pull in our community. At times we push out our ideas\, our visions\, and our inclinations. This summer\, Spudnik Press\, and artist William Estrada\, has brought together 200+ artists\, students\, and creative thinkers through various Chicago communities to reflect on how they and their communities “push and pull” physically\, metaphorically\, and politically. Each contributor hand carved a wood block\, with imagery inspired by the Push & Pull theme. These blocks were then brought together to create banner-sized collaborative prints as part of Printers Ball 2015. These oversized prints\, featuring art by as many as 84 artists\, are much too large for a typical printing press. Instead\, the pressure of a commercial steamroller was used to print each banner. These banners represent and pay tribute to the push and pull that is integral to a dynamic community. The culminating exhibition features a selection of the printed banners\, as well as select individual prints. \nOn Saturday\, July 25\, Spudnik Press will host an opening celebration with live printing\, a toast to the artists\, and the opportunity to purchase the commemorative banners as well as individual prints. \nThe exhibition runs through August 12th. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, noon to 5pm\, or by appointment. \nParticipating Organizations: \nBenito Juarez Community Academy Artime Club\, SAIC Art Therapy Department\, ArtReach at Lillstreet\, Chicago Printmakers Guild\, National Veterans Art Museum / YouMedia\, South Chicago Art Center\, Southside Hub of Production\, Whitney Young High School\, and Yollocalli. \nParticipating Independent Artists: \nErin Maresko\, Emily Nie\, Marilyn Propp\, Heather Anderson\, Meela Paloma\, Christine Bespalec-Davis\, Julie Cowan\, Gaila Mercado\, Elise Forer\, Hannah Ireland\, Megan Klawitter\, Alex Kostiw\, Jennifer Rich\, Rogelio Rosiles\, Judith Mayer\, Steve Vidal\, Lissette Martinez\, Leonor Gallardo Hevia\, Katie Moncton\, Mary Serbe\, Luthando W.
