BSA Print Experiments

May 14, 2014 - 8:47am

I stumbled on Kitchen Litho and had to try it
I love Émilie Aizier's attitude and inventiveness
website here
so I cleaned off the press


 

and took a crack at it

   
 

 

 

I was more interested in experiementing than in a final image
so I used lots of different drawing media
litho crayon, Sharpie, oil pastel, pencil and paint marker
here's alink to the prints
I had issues because I thought the cola could be reused many times
but after it reacted with the aluminum once it was finished.
It took a bit to realize that and I switched to white vinegar which can be reused.

This is such a cool technique,
I bought the hand book
can't wait til it arrives!

I plan on additional expermenting and doing some more realized mulitplate prints

Beautiful day for a bike ride!
I went with my buddies up to Piemont on one of the Rapha Women's Training rides

on the way back downtown Jenn and I stopped at this piece on the West Side Bike Path

Tony Tasset's 2014 Whitney Biennial Piece Is a Monument with 392,485 Artists' Names.
The statement says that the piece "flattens the hierarchies that exist between lauded and unknown artists and instead celebrates the entire community. 
Artist's Monument is in part a playful response to the percieved exclusivity of  exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial."

I gotta say that I have mixed feelings about the piece. 

Art about the artworld generally turns me off.
but it was delightful to see both me and Jenn Dierdorf represented!
