SUMMARY:Print(ed) Word
DESCRIPTION:About Print(ed) Word\nIn 2017\, A/P and Loft 112\, an artistic hub for writers and creatives to connect\, received funding support from Canada Council for the Arts to initiate Print(ed) Word – an interdisciplinary project that explored book-inspired relationships including art from text\, artist with writer\, and art book with reader/viewer. ​ \nThe result was a collaboration between 12 printmakers and 12 writers\, each paired to create a collaborative handmade artist book inspired from an existing text. The public support\, dissemination\, and celebration of this collaborative project continues. \nThe full collection of Print(ed) Word artist books were permanently installed in Calgary’s landmark Central Library in November 2018\, which was followed by a series of public artists talks throughout 2019 and the development of a mini-documentary series that was publicly released in 2020.  Click on each of the artist books listed below to view each mini-documentary.  \nArtist/Writer pairs and their collaborations\n\nDeep Cold on 11A by Aritha van Herk (writer) and Eveline Kolijn (artist)\nWhen a Warm Wind Blows off the Mountains by Susan Calder (writer) and Sylvia Arthur (artist)\nMy Mother Closing the Mouth of the War by Richard Harrison (writer) and Barbara Sutherland (artist)\nHow to Build a Street Girl by Lee Kvern (writer) and Carole Bondaroff (artist)\nThe Hunters by Jani Krulc (writer) and Ryan Statz (artist)\nHymenoptera by Doug Neilson (writer) and Heather Huston (artist)\nRouleauville by Rona Altrows (writer) and Carolyn Qualle (artist)\nISOBARS by Weyman Chan (writer) and Kate Baillies (artist)\nSwimming with Sharks by Elena Schacherl (writer) and Heather Urness (artist)\nSaturday Afternoon at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede\, 1977 by Barb Howard (writer) and Sally Reesman (writer)\nThe Night Will Be Long But Beautiful: The Life and Death of Jeff Lakes by Erin Vance (writer) and Tim van Wijk (artist)\nMezzo Milimetro by Caitlynn Cummings (writer) and Wendy Tokaryk (artist)\n\n  \nAcknowledgements\nThe creation of this project was made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, the partnership between A/P and Loft 112\, with special thanks to Carrie Phillips-Kieser and Lisa Murphy Lamb and 24 participating artists and writers. \nThe permanent exhibition\, 2019 Salon Series\, and Print(ed) Word Documentary were made possible through the generous support of the J K L MacLachlan Family Foundation together with the Calgary Public Library Foundation and the Calgary Public Library.

SUMMARY:Ashes! Ashes!
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\nAshes!Ashes! \n“Most prints are contact relics in this sense\, inasmuch as they are essentially stains on one surface that attest to damage done to another surface.”   \n– Jennifer L. Roberts\, Contact: Art and the Pull of Print \nSoot on the inside of a fireplace. Drops of candle wax on a dining table. A felt blanket draped over the armrest of a chair. Ashes! Ashes! is an exhibition grounded in the materials of charcoal\, beeswax\, paper and wool combined with printed gestures of cutting\, redrawing\, and wiping away. As I reflect on the 14 houses that I have moved in and out of over the last decade\, I turn to drawing as both an archival and speculative practice. The works exhibited here trace both real memories and imagined scenarios of these homes and the 25 people I shared them with\, manipulating the images through techniques of monotype\, collagraph\, and mokulito to reveal themes of comfort\, deterioration\, and repair. For myself and many of those closest to me\, our paths through the smog of urban housing precarity have been lined with neglectful landlords\, deteriorating architecture\, personal conflicts\, unpaid debts\, and threatening property managers. By sinking its teeth into moments in these spaces and the relationships made and lost in them\, Ashes! Ashes! wonders — with uncertainty\, grief\, and sometimes hope— what is left behind\, what do we take with us\, and where do we go from here? \nMargaret Joba-Woodruff is a visual artist whose practice employs an interdisciplinary approach to printmaking to consider the intersections of land\, body\, family\, memory\, and labour. After completing a BFA in Visual Art at the University of British Columbia in 2020\, she became a worker-owner of the Vancouver Artist Labour Union Cooperative before relocating to St John’s\, Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) to spend a year in residence as the ‘22-’23 Don Wright Scholar at St Michael’s Printshop. Her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and Arts NL\, and has been exhibited across Canada\, in the UK\, and Taiwan.  \nBorn in Montréal and raised on the island of Martha’s Vineyard\, Joba-Woodruff is once again living in Vancouver\, BC as a guest on the homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations after two meaningful years of living and working in Ktaqmkuk. \n\nRelated Events:\nOpening Reception:  \nJoin us for the opening reception on Friday\, February 20 from 7-9pm.  The artist will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served. \nAttendance is FREE and ALL ARE WELCOME. \nPrintmaking Demonstration and Artist Meet & Greet:  \nJoin us on Saturday\, February 21 from 1-2pm. \nMargaret Joba-Woodruff will be providing a live demonstration of Mokulito (wood lithography)\, and there will be an informal meet and greet with the artist and local community members. \nAttendance is FREE and ALL ARE WELCOME.  Registration is kindly requested. \n\n_________________________________\nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space? Welcome! Here’s a helpful guide to visiting the A/P Gallery\, Studio\, and Events \nHours and Location: A/P Main Gallery Hours: Wednesday from 10am – 5pm; Thursday – Saturday from 10am – 5pm (closed Sunday\, Monday\, and Tuesday) Accessibility: \nAccessibility:  \nA/P is located near the 39th Ave. C-Train Station and has free parking stalls located in front with additional street parking nearby.  \nThere is an access ramp at the east end of the building\, and A/P is equipped with a wheelchair accessible\, gender neutral washroom.  \n\nWe do our best to accommodate the needs of our visitors whenever possible. We welcome your questions and are committed to working with our members and guests to have a great visit when you are here!  \nInclusivity and code of conduct: \nA/P’s cultivates an inclusive and collaborative environment to learn about printmaking\, to create printed works\, and to pursue exciting artistic opportunities. \nA/P operates by a code of conduct with an expectation of promoting dignity and respect to all\, and we prioritize individual and community safety.  Any form discriminatory behaviour\, intimidation\, bullying\, harassment or victimization is not tolerated.

SUMMARY:Pump Up the Volume
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nHalftones – who needs ‘em!? Instead\, build your silkscreening know-how to create depth without using digital processes. \nThis workshop will cover a very brief refresher of the silkscreen process (such as coating and exposing your screen\, as well as registering and pulling your prints) before diving deep into hand-drawing and exposure techniques to help define volume in print. \nSkills learned will include creating stencils with rubylith (a specialized film used for various printing techniques)\, as well as developing tone through posterization – a process where you layer multiple exposures of hand-drawn stencils to create volume in your printed imagery. \nPlease note\, this course is intended for participants with a base-knowledge and some experience with screen printing who want to take their skills to the next step. This is an excellent follow up to our Intro to Screen Printing workshop\, or if you’re looking for a refresher after learning silkscreen basics in the past.  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nA brief refresher of the screen printing process\nAdvanced drawing techniques for silkscreen\nBuilding layers using rubylith film\nUsing floating stencils of newsprint to block out areas while printing\nPosterization through combining multiple exposures of the same image\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nJamie-Lee Girodat completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge and a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the University of Alberta. Her interest in genetic history\, health\, and ethics informs her practice in print media\, drawing\, and animation.
