Noon-6pm
Spudnik Press will be taking part in a two-day local maker and publisher fair at Gallery 400, on the UIC campus. This event is in conjunction with ArtWork: A National Conversation About Art, Labor, and Economics. From what I hear, many of Chicago’s best community oriented spaces and projects will be on-hand to show off what they make and what they do.

Spudnik Press recently completed an exciting collaboration with Artifice Magazine. Ten Spudnik Press printers were selected to illustrate ten stories from the first issue of this brand new non-profit Chicago-based literary magazine. We invite you to celebrate the release of this new magazine (and this new beautiful suite of screen prints). The party will include live readings, and editional artwork by the illustrators.
Featured artists: Liz Born, Lilli Carré, Sanya Glisic, Kim Heiney, Angee Lennard, CJ Mace, Michelle Mashon, Jeremy Lundquist, Colin Palombi, and Tom Wilder.
Sanya Glisic’s reinterpretation of “Collectors” by Ori Fienberg is depicted above.
Layer Make Open House
Friday, February 26, 2010, 7 – 10 pm
This January and February, artists who printed at Spudnik worked collaboratively to create one-of-a-kind prints using the projects they were already working on. Layer by layer, printers added their mark to not only four collaborative prints, but our gallery wall as well.
On Friday, February 26th, we are inviting you to stop by the studio, say hi, eat some layer cake, and learn about making artwork in a community studio. While you’re here, head downstairs to The Post Family. The fine printers at Sonnenzimmer, Nick Butcher and Nadine Nagasaki, will be hosting their first solo show of entirely non-commissioned art.
