In April 2005, Seattle Print Arts will hold a juried exhibit of socially engaged printmaking at Seattle's Phinney Neighborhood Community Center. The exhibit will showcase print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation. Because of its accessibility and reproducibility, print art has long been used by activists 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.
Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are encouraged to submit work. We hope to showcase work by over one hundred artists, and we look forward to your participation.
JUROR: The exhibit will be juried by Josh MacPhee, an artist and activist based in Chicago. MacPhee recently curated "Paper Politics," an extremely successful political printmaking show in Chicago which showcased over 250 prints from over 60 artists. He is the author of the recently published "Stencil Pirates: A Global Study of the Street Stencil," on Soft Skull Press.
MEDIA INCLUDED: "Print art" featured in this exhibit can include monotypes, silkscreen, letterpress, stenciling, etching, block prints, hand-processed photo prints, or any kind of printing on paper that retains some evidence of the human hand. Digital prints will be accepted if the medium is used in combination with a traditional technique.
SIZE: The maximum size of prints for this exhibition is 24" x 36".
HOW TO SUBMIT WORK:
By email: Submit images of your prints via email to both josh(at)justseeds.org and to Seattle Print Arts at paperpolitics(at)seattleprintarts.org. Jpeg files are preferable; please make sure that the image is high enough quality that we can get a good idea of what the actual print looks like.
By mail: If you do not have access to a means of sending digital images, you can send prints or slides to: Josh MacPhee, P O Box 476971, Chicago, IL 60647 USA
Please include your name and contact information, and indicate the title, medium, and size of the print(s) submitted. Only one print per artist selected will be included; however, feel free to submit several images for us to choose from. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your prints or slides returned.
ENTRY FEE: Only artists selected for the show will be asked to pay a fee. Entry for the show is free, but artists whose work is chosen will pay $15 to help produce a catalog and defray other expenses.
FRAMING: Work will be presented unframed; please do not submit framed work if your work is selected.
SALE OF PRINTS/PRICING: Artists who wish to offer their work for sale may send one or more prints from an edition of the work selected to be sold at the exhibition. In keeping with our theme of accessibility of the work, we ask that the price of prints for sale not exceed $200.

By building on the theme of Vagina Warriors in 2005, V-Day seeks to
emphasize the leadership qualities of these women and men who work
daily to end violence against women affecting real change in their

thousands of V-Day activists mobilized, registered and got out the vote
in the U.S., determined to make Violence Against Women a central issue
in the election."
Make any kind of mail-art doll you want and include the words ěWorld
Peace Begins at Homeî and www.dollarmy.com somewhere on or attached to

APPALLING PRESS & ARCHIVE is both an archive and an independent
publishing house, so independent that it does not work for profit, only
to produce and spread interesting materials and ideas. We operate under
the logic of F©! [Fuck copyright!], that is the encouragement to
reproduce and spread, by any means, what we publish. We launch our
first project: WIT-UPERIUM A series of assembling volumes, made from
the copies of the works sent by each artists. The underpinning idea of
this assembly-zine is that of vituperium, invective, in a word ěattackî
against someone (a public name) or something (any kind of institution
or product). Works will be bound in numbered volumes under the title of
Wit-uperium, a title that underlines the indispensable characteristic:
the attack and the sophistication of the attack, that cannot be a
simple ěfuck you!î but it has to bee mentally and esthetically
compelling. Wit-uperium will be published two-three times a year. These
are the technical aspects: - Graphic work on any kind of surface (but
not too heavy or thick ń avoid metal and wood), format must be A4.
Leave ? a inch on the left short side of the sheet so that it can
easily be bound. - You must send 100 copies of your work (signed or not
signed, it is up to you). - It is possible to send PC files (no Mac,
sorry!). If you send music files, an AVI video file, or if the file is
too large (more than 100 MB) you should send 100 copies of the CD,
otherwise 2 CDs are enough, we will take care of making copies. - In
the case of a DVD, you must provide 100 copies ready (possibly DVD-R
Region-Free). - Works not included in the volumes will not be returned.
- Once a work appears in Wit-uperium, following the above-mentioned
F©!, it can be reproduced by any means, by anybody. - All the artists
whose works are selected, will receive a copy of Wit-uperium. - There
is no due date, but the first issue should be out in the Spring 2005.
If you have any questions, feel free to write to:

Estévez models this piece after the Catholic El Camino de Compostela in Spain. He will stage a series of pilgrimages that reverse the relationship between art and religion. In this project, religion becomes a tool in the service of art as he endures seven tortuous journeys that begin in Downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn and conclude at seven NYC museums. Passersby are encouraged to help him endure each penance (e.g. helping him carry hundreds of pounds of art catalogues strapped to his back or provide physical or moral support as he travels on his knees to an Uptown Museum).
