Speaking of street art… we’re not exactly sure if Enjoy Banking is a street artist or a group of street artists. Is it a faux-subversive ad campaign, an ironic critique of financial practices, a bubbley condemnation of consumer apathy, or all of the above? While the messages are funny- “Enjoy Credit Crunch,” “Enjoy Bailout Package,” etc.- the stickers are pretty slick and so is the website giving the campaign a somewhat calculated feeling. When the streets of major cities are covered in visual detritus (as Amze’s recent post documents), it takes a focused concept and a unique look to break through the noise. In the same way that museums have shifted to blockbuster shows to compete, is the era of blockbuster street art upon us? 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…
While in New York for Print Week we took a quick stroll around the Chinatown/Lower Eastside street art nexus and our suspicions were confirmed: young folks still really like posting stickers, posters and other forms of street graphics all over this city. Many more images after the jump Read More After the Jump Street Graphics Still “Cool” After All These Years.
Probably one of the more interesting Print Week related exhibits was the Sister Corita Kent show at Zach Feuer Gallery in Chelsea. An extremely prolific artist, teacher and nun, Sister Corita was an amazing printer. Read past Printeresting posts about her here.
See more images from the show after the jump.
Abstracts, Jack Pierson’s recent show at Cheim & Read gallery focuses on the sculptural work of this prolific multi-disciplinary artist. Working with found letterforms from commercial signs he composes a range of beautifully minimal works that move the typographic forms far away from their functional origins.

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. Control:Print is a collaborative exhibition between The Royal College of Art and Parsons The New School for Design that is, according to exhibition materials, “considering the fate of ink on paper through explorations in design, craft, and technology.” It sounds serious because it is.
UPDATE 11/11/09: More photos in the One Every Day Flickr Set from EFA!
Thanks to everyone who came out for last Saturday’s reception for One Every Day. Special thanks to EFA Project Space and Michelle Levy for making the show a smashing success. The show is up until December 19, and stay tuned for information about event programming, too.

Printeresting is working serious overtime this week. On the docket Friday was the Editions/Artists’ Books Fair! The Fair is located this year at the X Initiative on West 22nd Street. The smaller space made it much more intimate affair than in past years- tight quarters led to close examination of the printed matter. It may have just been the layout but there actually seemed to be more booths than last year. The periodical publishers dropped in number (no Thing Quarterly, no Esopus this year) and the international print publishers went up in number, no doubt reflecting the shift of global capital away from Brown and Berkley graduates with keen ideas for experimental quarterly publications toward international fine print publishers. The other strange internal economy we noted was whether the publishers had bowls of free Werther’s Orginals candy, buttons or take-away print ephemera, but we could draw no conclusions from these observations (hello! Planet Money are you listening? Here’s your art world scoop!). Lots of pictures and commentary after the jump. |
