This Season at the Printshop!

Master Printer Erik Hougen with Publishing Residents Heide Fasnacht and Hank Willis Thomas.

Season's News

We are tremendously grateful to our artists, supporters, and the entire Printshop family for your passion, engagement, and for starting the season off with a bang!    

ARTISTS
Hank Willis Thomas, Alison Elizabeth Taylor, and Kate Shepherd are completing their Publishing Residencies! Each artist received full support and the opportunity to create a significant body of work. They spent the year collaborating with our master printer and his studio team to create new print editions. We are very proud of these publications, all of which display a unique approach to the medium. We know you will agree! Editions by Thomas and Taylor are already available for viewing and purchase, and we will be ready to unveil Shepherd's later this year. 
 
You may have visited Thomas' solo exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery last fall; we were thrilled to print the Fair Warning series of 18 carborundum-flocked works in that show. And, Alison Elizabeth Taylor's solo exhibition at James Cohan Gallery opens on October 24. Don't miss the chance to see how her latest prints connect to her wood veneer paintings.
 
Heide Fasnacht and Janaina Tschape are building their projects in full force, while Dasha Shishkin will just be getting started next month.

We are excited to announce the newly awarded Publishing Residents: Derrick Adams, Simon Evans, and LaToya Ruby Frazier. Congratulations! 

This week we are welcoming the new Keyholder Residents: Theresa Bloise, Robert Hernandez, Andy Meerow, and Jaret Vadera!

Special thanks to the Keyholder selection panelists: Lisa Kim, Cultural Affairs Director, Two Trees Management; Adam McCoy, Christie's Senior Specialist, Prints & Multiples; Amani Olu, Independent Curator & Writer, Co-founder and Executive Director of Humble Arts Foundation; David Rios Ferreira, Artist and former Keyholder Resident; and Sara Jo Romero, Schroeder Romero Editions.

Four artists ended their Keyholder Residencies: Megan Berk, Rebecca Bird, Gisela Insuaste, and Charles Koegel. It's been wonderful to have them as a part of the Printshop community and we plan to follow their journeys.
 
Studio rentals offer artists full access to the facilities to create new work independently. The program is open to all artists and allows you to stay as long as you need. Join us!

 Interview with an Artist: Megan Berk

Lower East Side Printshop

Untitled, 2013, screenprint, 24 x 33 in.

Megan Berk working in the studio, 2013.

Megan Berk is a current Keyholder Resident at the Lower East Side Printshop. 

This interview was conducted by Oscar Montenegro and Paulina Beron, who are spending the summer at the Printshop as part of the Studio In A School Internship Program.

Most of your artwork seems to be organized in different series and themes, is this intentional?

Yes, it happens intentionally. I am a very anxious painter therefore my first instinct is to get frustrated and feel like something has not succeeded, and to run away. Eventually you train yourself to resist that impulse and try to stay with things a bit longer, like anything in life. So yes, as a way to organize all of the different points of inspiration I do try to work in series.

How would you describe your creative process? Does it involve experimentation or is it rather restrictive?

Well, the term 'creative process' is interesting because my work is very much a part of my life and very personal. My process involves being aware of what’s going on with me, and all the aspects of my life. Inspiration can come when you least expect it to; I tend to get inspired at odd times when I’m doing something else—reading, traveling, or visiting my family. Much of my work starts from visiting my family so I sometimes have to just try to take down information and write a lot, along with taking a lot of pictures. That’s how I start! Then I often come back to it later—come back to the photographs and writings—and after having had a little bit of distance I start working on it in a pretty organized way. I’m probably not as experimental as I could be; I’m pretty cerebral, and always think about things too much. I do, however, like to give myself a little bit of space between the time I start thinking about something and the moment I start working on it.

Untitled, 2013, screenprint, 28 x 22 in.

Are there any printing secrets you’d like to reveal or pass along?
 

I think a good secret is that it’s usually easier than you think! So, if you are planning a color scheme for example, your first idea about how the colors are going to work is probably the best and most accurate place to start. I often try to make things more complicated than they need to be. Usually, if you can think of a color and you want it to be a part of your work, you should go straight for that color and don’t overthink it too much.

Do you incorporate events from your life or your personality into your work?

Yes, well, I think that one of the fun things about being an artist is that you get to take things from your life that can give you anxiety or weigh on you, and use them. I’m interested in what seduces me and what causes anxiety in me and I try to break it down into a very simple, formal level. So then things that represent bigger ideas can be familiar, as familiar as shapes and colors. I try to basically listen to that in myself and follow it.

Who supported you while you were becoming an artist? 

My family has always supported me; I’ve been very lucky. They are not artists per se, but they are very interested in what I’m doing and that’s great! I was also very lucky to have a few specific people in my high school, teachers that were very supportive, and just a couple of employers in my twenties who were supportive and that has been very helpful too. I’ve been very lucky because it has been a slow climb and along the way there have always been a few people who have made it possible.

What are you currently working on? How does it differ from past projects? 

 

I wasn’t a very good printmaker before I came to the Printshop and now I see it as an important part of what I do and for the rest of my career, definitely. The prints I’m creating are related to my paintings, but they are their own body of work. It’s been really good to work with photographic imagery because I normally use dark and light a lot and using photo-based printmaking lets you investigate that in a very practical way, so that’s what I’ve been doing.

Do you have any regrets about becoming an artist? Are there other things you would like to accomplish?

It’s really difficult and there are a lot of sacrifices in this life. I don’t think it’s going to be easy for the rest of my life, but it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to. At this point, it would be very difficult for me to give up. I put a lot of work into my art practice and my life, but yes, there are a lot of sacrifices.           
                                                                          
Where do you see yourself in 15 years?

15 years? Probably, I mean, hopefully I will, you know, progress, but I see my life the same as it is now, in the present.

How has working at the Lower East Side Printshop changed or reassured your previous approach to making art?
 

Just having the time, there’s so much time here, it has let me fail a lot more and not worry about it so much. I don’t think I’ve ever allowed myself to fail as much as I have ever, even in school, which is pretty amazing. Also, I feel more comfortable showing everyone here my failures and talking to them about everything that’s on my mind, and it’s so great to not go through that alone.

Do you plan to continue being an artist for the rest of your life? 

I mean, unless I discover that I could be an acrobat, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.

BONUS: What can we expect from your upcoming exhibition?

My next show opens on September 7^th at Recession Art in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and it’s going to be paintings, prints, and sculptures, and today is the deadline for the naming of my exhibition, but I haven’t got the name right just yet*. The root of the show is the houseplant. A lot of the work doesn’t have houseplants in it, but I feel like the seed of it all was worrying about keeping a houseplant alive through the winter.

Editions 10' Catalogue Launch and Exhibition

I know, I know, I know.... it has been a long time since we last blogged, but in our defense it is because there has been so much going on in the studio! The Printshop has been action packed the past couple of months and we have exciting things to show as a result!

We just finished hanging our newest exhibition, Editions 10',  where we are showing new projects by Special Editions Artists-in-Residence Karlos Carcamo, Cammi Climaco and Steve Lambert, alongside new work by Publishing Artists-in-Residence William Powhida and Enoc Perez. A lot of these pieces were printed, fabricated, and editioned in the past couple of months, so we have been busy flocking, silkscreening, collaging and even getting to hand paint butterflies. Hopefully this is reason enough for you to excuse our small "blogger" break. We promise to keep you updated on a regular basis of all things Printshop related from now on!

For instance come by the Printshop next Wednesday May 26, from 6 to 8 pm for our catalogue launch and exhibition reception!

And stay tuned for sneak peeks into our collaboration with new Publishing Artist-in-Residence Arturo Herrera, and more information on our current Special Editions artists!
