Posted by PRINTERESTING on March 11th, 2010 | Just two short weeks til Copy Jam! For the event, we are producing a small-run, commemorative t-shirt that will be available for purchase. The shirts were beautifully printed by Philadelphia’s own Outlaw Print Co. Get ‘em while supplies last.
 We’ll be hanging out and making copies at Art in the Age from 6-9. It’s free and all are welcome! AITA is generously supplying bottles of their Root liqueur for all to sample at our event and will be hosting a Root Happy Hour next door at Charlie’s Pub from 8-10. Anyone up for an after party? It’s going to be fun so definitely stop by.

Posted by PRINTERESTING on February 21st, 2010 | Back by popular demand! Our first DIY Quick and Dirty Ephemera Swap was such a hit, the good folks at The Print Center have asked us to host one in Philadelphia. How could we say no? The details…
The DIY Quick and Dirty PRINTERESTING SWAP!
Saturday, March 20 at 2:00pm, Free and open to the public
Bring your prints, posters, photocopy art, zines, comix, buttons, t-shirts, stickers, chapbooks, mail art, broadsides and any other form of multiple that is ripe for distribution. The Swap is intended for creators to trade the stuff they’ve made and embrace the gift economy made possible through mass production. Printeresting began in 2008 as “the thinking person’s favorite online resource for interesting printmaking miscellany.” It was founded by Gallery Store artists Amze Emmons and Jason Urban along with R.L. Tillman.
The Print Center, 1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148, Phone: (215) 735-6090
Space is limited so RSVP to evandenberg@printcenter.org ASAP!
So brace yourself, Philadelphia. That’s two, count ‘em, two official Printeresting events in less than a week! Our Swap at the Print Center on Saturday followed by Copy Jam! at Art in the Age on Thursday!
Posted by PRINTERESTING on January 18th, 2010 | It seems like only yesterday Printeresting was busy planning One Every Day, our first curatorial project. Ahhh, memories! But time stops for no blog so here we find ourselves in January of 2010 announcing our SECOND curatorial project… COPY JAM!
 This Spring, PRINTERESTING wants to meet our readers in the City of Brotherly Love! On Thursday March 25 from 6-9PM, we will host a reception at Philadelphia’s Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
This event will coincide with Mark Remarque, the 2010 conference of SGC International, and the city-wide festival Philagrafika 2010.
“COPY JAM!” will be an interactive print event. During the party, fifty works by fifty artists will be displayed in a grid on the wall. Upon arrival, each guest will be handed a complimentary ticket that can be exchanged for one black & white photocopy of any work the guest chooses. There will be no sales; one ticket equals one copy. Copies will be made LIVE in the gallery for one night only!
A full list of participating artists is available on the COPY JAM! webpage.
All are welcome, and we hope to see you there!

 Youth & Skill by Leslie Mutchler.
This piece is inspired by a photograph of architectural photographer Julius Shulman sitting in front of a sign reading “Old Age & Treachery Will Overcome Youth & Skill.” While some of our older readers will certainly disagree, Mutchler thought this old Greek proverb could use a revision for 2010. The photograph of Shulman is below (click on image below for larger version).

Happy Holidays from Printeresting.Org

Or do we have to start calling it SGCI? Regardless of acronym, early registration was announced last week along with the debut of the Mark/Remarque conference website. Circle March 24th to March 27th on your calendars, this one promises to be unlike any past Southern Graphics conferences. It’s being held in Philadelphia in conjunction with The Graphic Unconscious, a huge citywide printstravaganza organized by the good people at Philagrafika. There’s way too much going on to summarize it all here so we urge you to dig around their respective websites for details.
Printeresting will be on the scene for both Mark/Remarque and The Graphic Unconscious providing tons of coverage and maybe even some insight? Printeresting is also working on an evening event for Thursday, March 25th but we’re keeping a lid on it until all the specifics are finalized. Needless to say, we’ll let you know more when we know more.

Posted by PRINTERESTING on November 15th, 2009 | So a week after the One Every Day opening, we’re finally getting around to posting pictures of the actual show. While the opening night party is a fading memory, remember the exhibition will be up until December 19th, if you are near NYC check it out. There will also be at least one zany event early next month in the exhibition space.. but more on that later.
To give you a sense of space, the EFA Project Space consists of one large room and two slightly smaller rooms. Due to the scale of the exhibition, we’ll break this up into two posts. We’ll start with the larger room…
 Tons of pics after the jump… Continue reading One Every Day: Exhibition Tour (Part 1)

New Prints 2009/Autumn opened during Print Week to great fanfare. The New Prints exhibition is a highlight of the International Print Center of New York’s (IPNCY) otherwise strong exhibition lineup. Once every three or four months, IPCNY brings in noted artists, curators and master printers to choose from the hundreds of submissions the artists whose work will form a snapshot of print world. These exhibitions tend to collect a wide range of talent working in print to one New York location. For many of the artist’s exhibited in the series this may be their first Chelsea exhibition. Wonderfully, you will often see world famous artists on the wall right next to a great piece by someone from Kalamazoo. This year’s New Prints 2009/Autumn did not disappoint.
More images of the show after the jump.
