SUMMARY:Drink & Draw: June 2016–Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Calligraphy is a centuries-old tradition that continues to thrive today. Contemporary calligraphy includes flourishing invitations\, soft and simple cursive\, and urban calligraphy that bridges tradition and street art. \nJoin guest Designer and Calligrapher\, Grace Calderone\, as she shares her elegant approach to the written word. Experiment with the tools of the trade and try your hand at creating an alphabet with rhythm and regularity. Learn a few tricks that will elevate your penmanship from acceptable to artistic. Spudnik Press will provide plenty of brushes\, quill pens\, india ink and beer to help each guest harness the power of dazzling penmanship. \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:Volunteer Open House\, Mixer and Birthday Party
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Volunteer Mixer is two events in one: a thank you party for all our amazing past volunteers\, and a fun prelude for future volunteers! \nOur new volunteer program provides ample opportunities to support through assisting with studio innovations\, organization\, exhibitions and community outreach. Our volunteers support our ever-growing studio and programs\, become part of our thriving community of printmakers\, artists and art supporters\, and (if desired) get to learn about arts administration and what happens behind the scenes at Spudnik Press Cooperative. \nIf you love what we do\, and want to contribute to our year-round efforts to keep printmaking affordable\, accessible and vibrant\, please join us for this event of community\, conversation\, drinks and even a little art-making! If you are a Spudnik Member\, a friend or colleague of the studio\, a current student (here or elsewhere) or simply a curious neighbor\, you are invited to stop by\, check out the studio\, meet our awesome staff\, fellows and interns\, and learn more about how you can help support our mission. Did we mention that snacks and drinks will be plentiful?

SUMMARY:Temporal Tantrum–Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The passage of time is a universal yet highly subjective experience that can be measured in countless ways. From time travel theory\, to poaching an egg\, to sleeping\, all have vast temporal implications. In art\, time is often addressed through the medium of film\, but how does one confront it in a static medium such as printmaking? Temporal Tantrum examines the concept of time and how time is perceived. \nThe exhibition features a print portfolio of the same name that include new artworks by ten Chicago artists. Each printmaker has examined the universal\, yet highly subjective\, experience that is the passage of time. Dana Johnson’s illustrative print depicts a missed opportunity\, waiting in anticipation\, and the let down or frustration of this experience through the typical urban experience of just missing a bus. Other contributions utilize time as a material in the art-making process. Stan Shellabarger began his print by repetitiously walking on a wood plank. Over time\, his footprints left grooves worn into the wood. Through the process of inking then printing from this block of wood\, Shellabarger was able to create a record of both this activity and a discrete unit of time. \nIn addition to the print portfolio\, the exhibition includes a series of etchings by Jeremy Lundquist\, Notice – Closed. Using only a single copper plate to create his entire body of work\, the plate itself has been transformed into a physical representation of memory. The prints created from that plate are a documentation of memory as an active entity. Through depicting fragments of historically significant landmarks\, Lundquist calls attention to how remembrance evolves\, and previously significant events become obfuscated\, buried\, or re-contextualized across time. Calling attention to the fickleness of memory and our susceptibility to the present and its affect on our perceptions of the past\, Lundquist’s 21 prints will not simultaneously be on view. Instead\, each of the 21 states of Notice – Closed will only be displayed for a limited time. Every few days\, newer states of the print will replace old. \nFeatured Artists:\nHeather Anderson\, Margaret Hitch\, Dana Johnson\, Jeremy Lundquist\, Margaret McGill\, Angelika Piwowarczyk\, Ashley Shaul\, Stan Shellabarger\, Randi Stella\, Mario Valdivia\, Tara Zanzig \nTemporal Tantrum will kick-off with a Gallery Talk featuring a panel of exhibiting artists at 6:00 p.m. on June 17\, followed by the Opening Reception. \n\nThe exhibition runs through July 30th\, 2016. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, noon to 5pm\, or by appointment.
