Typeface - Chicago Southside screening

South Side Projections, Kartemquin Films, and Southside Hub of Production present a free screening of Typeface.
 
Following the film is a roundtable discussion of the history and future of letterpress. Respondents include Associate Producer Starr Marcello, April Sheridan of Columbia College’s Center for Book and Paper Arts, Martha Chiplis of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Celene Aubrey of the Lillstreet Art Center, radical printer and activist Dan S. Wang, and other artists.
 
The screening and roundtable kick off SHOP’s month-long “Reproduce+Ability” exhibition, which emphasizes reproducible art and the techniques used to make it. In addition to the letterpress show curated by April Sheridan of Columbia College’s Center for Book and Paper Arts, there will be a series of events featuring artists working in reproducible mediums. Animator Vicky Yen, silkscreen printer Clare Fentress, mixtape artist DJ Curt Spins, knitter Lindsay Obermeyer, and woodworker John Preus are just a few of the artists who will conduct workshops, do readings, and/or perform their work.
