Interested in making something at <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1227" target=blank">Print Studio</a> but don’t know where to start? Try creating a work incorporating this month’s <a href="http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2012/02/13/ten-minute-talk-collective-task-at-print-studio/" target=blank">Collective</a> <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/14415" target=blank">Task</a>, adapted from artist Lisa Sanditz’s original task: Make something while honoring the spirit of Freecycle. That is, all materials used in the project must be used, borrowed and bartered. Explore the illustrious tomes of the <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/14385" target=blank">Reanimation Library</a> for sources of recycled images and text, and copy, color, paste, and rearrange the visuals using Photoshop Elements on our computer print stations. Leave your mark by adding your print to the dozens of inventive works already posted on Print Studio’s walls. Print Studio is your free resource for exploring the print medium, and is open every day, except Tuesday, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Some Print Studio Editions, including digital finger drawings, Collective Task responses, and more!
To mark the beginning of week five at Print Studio, we’d like to showcase a small sampling of some of the editions that participants have made here in previous weeks. We’ve had a wide range of visitors to Print Studio, from those experimenting with print technologies for the first time, to those well-versed in various electronic and manual printmaking apparatuses. There have been visitors who pop in quickly during a break from work, and others who’ve spent hours manipulating images from the Reanimation Library. All in all, the Print Studio walls are decked out with a lively display of visitors’ creativity.
