The Risograph is a relative newcomer to the print world. But for a growing amount of artists, designers, publishers, studios and institutions, this printing machine is quickly becoming a definitive creative tool in today’s graphic art, design and publishing milieus.
This exhibition presents leading international artists, designers, publishers and studios who are pioneering and producing work on the Risograph, pushing the boundaries of the machine, and disseminating ideas through print in an affordable and accessible way.
Original, affordable artwork, limited edition prints, artbooks and zines will be available for purchase during the entire show.
:: OPENING NIGHT
Opening night is at Possible Worlds on Friday, June 5. DJ Jason Skilz will be spinning underground beats. We’ll talk about the Risograph machine we’ve recently acquired, as well as launching our first Risograph publication, Noise in NYC.
:: ARTIST PROFILES
We’ll be posting interviews on the blog with participating artists leading up to and throughout the show.
