Residency
Spudnik Press’ Residency Program provides the resources, equipment, and space for one artist per season to develop a body of print-based work. We hope to encourage and enable the production of high quality prints, and to contribute to the development of an emerging Chicago artist.
Spudnik Press will provide the Artist in Residence with materials for his or her project, unlimited access to the shop, and general feedback and assistance from Spudnik Press’ studio monitors and assistants. At the conclusion of the residency, Spudnik Press will host a reception displaying the work created during the 3 month period.

Current Artist-in-Residence: Jessica Taylor
“During my residency at Spudnik I will explore issues surrounding pattern, repetition, and reproduction. In my work, I examine the psychological affects of seemingly faux luxury materials and artificial domestic items. I am interested in the dichotomy of synthetic materials and their ability to maintain beauty while inherently retaining a sense of their own failure. I hope to bring into focus the indistinct space between the intention of ideals represented by authentic goods and the misguided interpretation of their synthetic counterparts. Printmaking’s inherent ability to create multiples makes prints very accessible and directly relates to the affordable faux goods.”
