ON WED, FEB 22

ARTIST / DESIGNER : MIKE PERRY

WILL BE AT SMFA
TO SPEAK ABOUT HIS WORK AND CREATIVE PROCESS


Mike Perry (www.mikeperrystudio.com) is a designer and artist working in a variety of mediums, including—but not limited to—books, magazines, newspapers, clothing, drawing, painting, and illustration, Mike Perry is compelled by the ways in which the hand-drawn informs and deepens contemporary visual culture. Perry works regularly for a number of editorial and commercial clients including Apple, The New York Times, Dwell, Target, Urban Outfitters, eMusic, and Nike. In 2004, he was chosen as one of Step magazine’s 30 under 30, and, in 2007, as a “Groundbreaking Illustrator” by Computer Arts Projects. In 2008, he received Print magazine’s New Visual Artist award and the ADC Young Guns 6. His work has been exhibited around the world including the 2 recent, solo shows in Tokyo, Japan, We are the Infinity of Each Other and B Gallery and Color, Shapes and Infinity at Public Image 3d Gallery.

In addition to his commercial, non-profit, and art work, Perry has also published extensively. His first book, Hand Job, published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2006, focuses specifically on the relevance and beauty of hand-drawn type in the digital age. Over and Over: A Catalog of Hand-drawn Patterns (Fall 2008), explores the similarly nuanced texture, humor, and elegance of illustrative patterns. A third book, entitled Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing, was released in March 2011. His self-published magazine, Untitled, explores a variety of themes both playful and lofty. The most recent issue, Untitled 5 was released Summer 2010.

Most days, Perry can be found working away in his Brooklyn-based studio, ceaselessly mixing colors, pulling prints, building sculptures and exercising his belief in the transformative power of making things.

Seripop screenprinting project ongoing throughout the day

Wednesday, October 19 Artist Talk @ 12:30pm in the screen studio
Seripop screenprinting project ongoing throughout the day


Seripop is the name under which Yannick Desranleau and Chloe Lum collaborate on visual art and experimental design. Well known for their output of screenprinted posters, the duo has shown their work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across nine countries. Their work has been reproduced in a wide variety of publications, including Print, How, Plazm, Tokion, XLR8R and Mojo. Despite their iconoclastic design work and low-profile clients, they have won several design awards and have been featured in such books as Steven Heller’s New Vintage Type and John Foster’s New Masters of Poster Design. The founding unit of the One-Hundred-Sided Die, a collectively run artist studio in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal, Canada, Seripop recently constructed an installation of tri-dimensional sculptural screenprints for a solo show at Gateshead, England’s Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. They are also produced a limited-edition print during their residency at Northern Print Studio in Newcastle, England (in conjunction with Northern Print Biennale), and are currently working on a book of new work that will be published by Soundscreen Design . 

Desranleau and Lum are also musicians; when they are not working in their print studio, they are touring with the noise-rock band AIDS Wolf (as well as their drums-and electronics project Hamborghinni).

“Event Horizon” is a public art project that seeks to create a site for inquiry into the nature of current events and history through the use of print media, performance, and individual interpretation.

Artists within “Event Horizon” interpret and re-present topics, headlines, graphics, and text found in widely circulated newspapers, broadsides, and fliers to produce creative, critical, and poetic interplays in the form of printed posters and broadsides. The reader’s ability to translate and creatively respond to “popular” issues will underscore a story or subject’s meaning, thereby exposing “the style” of interpretation as a determinant element of how events or topics are individually understood and communicated to a larger public.

Traditionally hung in public places to announce news and events to the public, broadsides locate information within a locality of interest, while creating a visual tableau, indexing issues within a splayed format. Physically unbound, the broadside references the loose sheets of a newspaper, with large type and simple script, easily read by the passerby, to be papered and hung on poles, store windows, buildings, and folding displays.

Using print media as a means to create a backdrop for the projection of ideas and opinions, “Event Horizon” re-contextualizes current events within a staged setting of signage and performative happenings. By situating themselves within a public place, calling and handing out their print media, participating artists will be inadvertently quoting other historical and contemporary performance traditions, including: town-crier, soap-boxer, street performer, mystic, publicist, recruiter and activist. The public is invited to engage notions of the “newsworthy” through absurdist, practical, educational, comic, mundane, and dramatic presentations of topical material.
