FUCK UP :: a test print exhibit

[anchoresse]

Hey all, this is still a few months away, but I figured I'd start promoting it now. I'm not sure who all lives close enough to attend, but I'd love to meet some new people at the reception. My friend Michael Nielsen (he posts his posters as Workshop) and myself (Eric Nyffeler + Doe Eyed) are curating this exhibit.

FUCK UP :: a test print exhibit
Friday, April 2, 2010, 70pm, SCREEN INK (416 S. 11th street, Lincoln, NE)

Test prints are by-products of the screen-printing process that contain a multitude of layers of color and shape from numerous different posters, resulting in (occasionally) beautiful, one-of-a-kind monoprints. Because the process is completely spontaneous and unplanned, imperfections and accidents are embraced rather than shunned. FUCK UP is an art show that illuminates this emerging art form with a collection of prints from numerous international artists, both celebrated and up-and-coming. Test prints are an intersection of art and design, individuality and mass production, inspiration and collection, planned and impromptu.

OPENING
Please join us at our First Friday opening reception for booze, classy hors d'oeuvres, shit-talking, and brown-nosing (not necessarily in that order). You'll meet some of the artists and can badmouth the ones who didn't show up. We will be selling 19 color promo posters (yes, 19 hand-printed colors) that feature one layer of art from every contributing artist. All the artists individual test prints will be available for sale as well as make-your-own test print tshirts. The official after party will be located at the nearby YEE OLDE TAVENRE.
