Steamroller Prints
@ Spudnik Press
1821 W Hubbard St, Suite 302 Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Friday, May 29th, from 10AM - 6PM
Spudnik Press Cooperative, in partnership with the School of Visual Arts at Columbia College Chicago, is hosting a full day of large-scale printmaking that’s free and open to the public.
At the center of the event is a construction road roller turned printing press used to produce oversized prints outdoors throughout the day. The works being printed were created by invited artists and carved into large relief plates using CNC routing at the School of Visual Arts at Columbia College Chicago. Those plates come together here for a single day of printing, where each image is inked and run through the press in real time.
Artists participating include Atlan Arceo-Witzl/Nate Carder/Chris Flynn, Cecilia Beaven, Danny Vero Diaz, Hink, Taylor Hokanson, Jaclyn Jacunski, Avery Johnson, Duncan MacKenzie/Christian Kuras, Amanda Ross-Ho, Cristal Sabbagh, H Marsh Schenck, Biddy Tran.
Their work spans printmaking, sculpture, installation, performance, muralism, photography, social practice, and experimental media, engaging ideas of identity, labor, technology, memory, migration, infrastructure, community, and systems of power.
Come by and spend time with us as the process unfolds across the day, as plates are inked, laid down, and pressed under the weight of the steamroller, revealing each print at full scale as it happens
