// PRINT READY VIII: STOCKHOLM TO VANCOUVER

Print Ready VIII: Stockholm to Vancouver works to further contextualize the Print Ready VII: Stockholm Edition exhibition that took place this past May in Stockholm, Sweden.

In addition to publications from over 40 artists that were included in the Stockholm iteration, this exhibition includes prints, drawings and paintings by Stephane Bernard, Alina Senchenko, leannej, Sylvie Ringer and Jeff Lee that further contextualize their featured publications.

Zine Club is also presenting an installation featuring works by Larissa Montiero, Sylvana d’Angelo and Tracy Stefanucci.

This two-part exhibition features a large selection of artists’ publications that span a wide variety of formats (including books, zines, newspapers and audio cassettes) and mediums (such as drawing, graphic design, collage, text-based works, audio sampling and photography). Many of these publications have been published as part of collaborative efforts with collectives and publishers, including Brick Press, Moniker Press, Kiosk, DDOOGG and Perro Verlag.

// ARTIST TALKS

The following artist talks will be held Sunday from 7pm to 9pm:

1. Sylvie Ringer:
Hamburg-based artist Sylvie Ringer shares selected facts and anecdotes from recent research, including: witches and hedges, why paradise needs borders, the Lebensreform (“life reform”) movement and Nature Boys, and August Engelhard’s coconut cult and 1898 book “A Carefree Future.”

2. Stephane Bernard:
Hospital Landscape combines elements of drawing with a spoken word presentation of sampled texts by the likes of Borges, Joyce, Keats, Thoreau, Updike and Wilde, with instrumentals by Bowie. The cut-up narrative is an examination of hope when faced with the possibility of physical annihilation.

3. Sylvana d’Angelo:
Moveable Type/Mobile Zine Media theorist Marshall McLuhan believed that moveable type accelerated and enabled culture by exerting a gravitational effect on cognition, changing perceptual habits, which in turn affects social interactions. McLuhan’s insight was that a medium affects society not by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself. The 21st century is smartphone-driven. It is a hand-held computer reality where a vast array of information is available instantly. What is the exchange when choosing print over digital? Sylvana d’Angelo discusses media theory and zine culture, both print and web based.

Print Ready VII: Stockholm to Vancouver is co-curated by Tracy Stefanucci (Director, Vancouver Art Book Fair) and Nathan Jones (Director, Print Ready).
