Iskra Print Collective Presents: Raised on Paper

Raised on Paper

For over three months a new group of students have been experimenting and exploring the two-dimensional world of screen printing via the teachings and tools of the ISKRA Print Collective.

They tapped into their childhood dreams and nightmares to bring you this - the physical reminder that we might just be the last generation raised on paper.

This group exhibition represents their summary output. Original artwork created by Brad Fishkin, Adam Karl, Liz Millikin, Joe Ricci, Rachel Stewart and Craig Winslow. Additionally, veteran collective comrades, Vicki Julius, Andrew Lakata, Leo Listi, Chris Partelow and Jeff Yeager, will be exhibiting their latest creations.

Come and support your local printmaking artists.

Through August 31 at JDK Gallery in Burlington.
Reception: August 17, 6-9p.m. Cash Bar

Check the Facebook event for more info.

Matt Mayer

Tuesday August 7, 2012

We've been lucky enough here at Iskra to have Matt on board for the past 6+ years. He has moved on to focus on his record label, NNA Tapes and creating his own music.

In spirit of Matt's future endeavors, friends and collective comrades put together enough mix-tapes to play in his car during his tour of the Midwest exposing his creations of experimental noise as A Snake in the Garden.

Leo channeled his emotional goodbyes through a megaphone noise-rock poetry mashup, it was beautiful. He also made this one off print "Within Without" for Matt, just as beautiful.

Matt, there will always be a screen in Iskra with your name on it, literally.

We'll miss you bro.
