Paper Politics
October 18th - November 17th, 2007
Crossman Gallery in Wisconsin

This exhibit has been organized by Josh MacPhee and will showcase print art that uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation. The exhibit has been displayed in other venues across the country, but will be augmented by regional artists for the exhibit here. Because of its accessibility and reproducibility, activists have long used print art as a communication tool in struggles for freedom and social equality. The bold graphic qualities made possible by printmaking techniques are used to communicate with and educate broad audiences all over the world.

The hand-printed works in the show speak of matters that are vital to understanding the world today. Some of the subjects include opposition to war, solidarity with struggles around the world, destruction of the environment, corporate control, police brutality, homelessness, and gender inequalities.

Notion Nanny
Sunday May 20th, 2007 11am-3pm
MATRIX Gallery in the Berkeley Art Museum

This is a free event traveling through England and the United States.

The Notion Nanny project, builds collaborative relationships with artists in an effort to create a temporary guild of makers, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas, skills, objects, and experiences around the practice and politics of the handmade.

"Notion nanny" dolls were popular during the Victorian era, representations of the traveling peddlers who journeyed through the countryside with baskets of varied wares in hand. In life, these itinerant traders served as important conduits of aesthetic articles and revolutionary ideas, connecting isolated locales through news and stories as well as useful goods.
