Two events this Saturday, December 3, one in Chicago, one in New York, both have to do with printing, with contributions from me.
In Chicago, South Side Projections will be screening Typeface, the Kartemquin documentary about the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. April Sheridan of CBPA put together a small show of letterpress work to go along with the film. I'll be bringing a couple of pieces to show. Plus, there will be a roundtable discussion after the film on the history and future of letterpress. Respondents include film director Justine Nagan, April Sheridan, Martha Chiplis of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Celene Aubrey of the Lillstreet Art Center, and me.
Event starts at 7 pm, but the venue, SHoP, will have activity going all afternoon, too.
5638 South Woodlawn Avenue
Chicago, Illinois

The New York event is the reception for the brand new War Is Trauma print portfolio from Justseeds and IVAW. I'm proud to say, not only did I contribute a print to this collection, but I helped Nicolas Lampert and Sgt. Aaron Hughes print the portfolio covers on my SP-15. We did it on Combat Paper, no less.
7 - 10pm
@ Booklyn, 37 Greenpoint Ave. 4th Floor, Brooklyn, New York
The show will be up from December 3, 2011 - January 8, 2012. Full details on the Justseeds blog.
