more SUNBURNS

Here are a new color versions of Emily Joyce's Sunburn prints, as mentioned before in the post "Sunburn". As you can see, we have a new intern in tow, former Tamarind Alum, Myungwon Kim!  She just moved here to Southern California from Philadelphia. Could there a better way to become introduced to the Los Angeles art-making scene, than through the sunny-disposition of Emily's prints?

My color match samples were flower-shaped!

The Futility of Making Salad

Insert Press describes the featured project:

Joseph Kosuth, in “Art and Its Public” defined an artist community as “...a community of artists who collectively, through individual effort, define what is meaningful at a particular historical moment concretely within the practice of their activity.” And comedian Stephen Fry, while viciously ripping into a head of lettuce, asks why making a salad (with no other motive other than love!) (and a decent desire!) is so frustratingly futile. We have invited a number of artists to address the question: is there such a thing as an artist community? Do they feel a part of one? What constitutes it? What would it mean to be able to collectively define meaning today, in a diverse and ever-changing art world?

Insert Press in collaboration with MATERIAL, an artist-run journal publishing and supporting the artist’s voice, has collected the responses to this question and created a publication of these texts that begin to describe our ‘particular moment.’ With cover design and screenprinting by Maggie White Lomeli and Insert Press, and interior layout design & typesetting by Daniel Lucas, The Futility of Making Salad features texts by the following artists: Harold Abramowitz, Stan Apps, Marcus Civin, Ginny Cook, Dorit Cypis, Robin Dicker, Bradney Evans, Nicholas Grider, Dan Hockenson, Peter Kirby, Elana Mann, Melanie Nakaue, Julie Orser, Adam Overton, Putting On Declan Rooney, Kim Schoen, Charlotte Smith, Jesper List Thompsen, Mathew Timmons, Jason Underhill.

You can purchase a copy of the publication at the event or order a copy online for $8 at insertpress.net or with this link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=HYXB7H6VH3N38.

All 100 cover copies were screenprinted in 2 colors.

Sunburns

Here are pictures taken of Emily Joyce's newest prints made just before her solo show, New Math, at Inman Gallery in Houston, Texas.  We will be giving a talk about our collaborative process the day after the opening.  The show runs from September 10th-October 23, 2010.
The talented Maryanne Williams did such a great job taking these pictures, which is why I had to post so many!
 

Every project has different registration obstacles to conquer

More eyeballs!!!

We completed another session of Emily's crazy crazy prints!  This one is half the size as the others shown previously.  It is a semi-square format measuring 47.5 " x 55".  This is one of my favorites!

After drying, the prints are carefully rolled onto glassine-lined tubes
