Chicago Printmakers Collaborative
Opening this weekend!
SOUNDCHECK:
A Portfolio Exhibit by Printmaker-Musicians

| 
Artists
Christopher Blume (Rivals), Chris Flynn (Hyperbole Ensemble), Michael Jackson (Heart, Head and Tails), Wyatt Grant (Pool Holograph), Deborah Maris Lader (Sons of the Never Wrong), Jon Langford, Alan Lerner (37 Questions), Justin Santora & Jason S Thompson (The Sky We Scrape), Maria Sanchez & Brandon Ross (The Glorious Vapors)
SOUNDCHECK aims to celebrate the work of Musician-Printmakers who actively and enthusiastically express themselves in multiple art forms. To pick careers in both music and art is not exactly the most lucrative choice, and yet, these artists strive for the highest standards in both of their chosen mediums. These art forms are related. The act of recording is an act of layering, as the rhythms are often tracked first, with layers and layers of instruments and vocals resting upon one another in a complex matrix of sound. So too are prints made, with layers of visual information entered upon stone or plate or screen in order to produce a rich and penetrating image. The exhibition will showcase a portfolio of prints made by 9 artists in an edition of 20. An accompanying CD of
9 songs (related to the artwork, recorded by each artist) will be included in the packaging of the portfolio, which will resemble a vinyl album
cover, since the print size is 12 x 12 inches. 10 Portfolios will be available
to the public for purchase, as well as individual proofs by each artist. The exhibit will show the portfolio prints as well as additional print work by each of the participating artists. The portfolio will feature all methods of traditional printmaking: lithography, etching, screen printing, and relief. The music of the artists ranges from folk to jazz, rock and punk and everything in between.
The event is free and open to the public.
Live music and refreshments will be on tap.
