AS220 Performance Space 115 Empire Street

Giddy-up, print lovers! Wednesday evening, September 30th, AS220's Printshop will devolve into an ink splattered orgy of good times, non-toxic fumes, and do it yourself sensibilities in a desperate attempt to communicate our indescribable delight and immeasurable pride in celebrating our second birthday. This Dionysian affair will be marked by two guest lecturers so esoteric, so intriguing, so rare, that even our perpetually boisterous AS220 staff will find themselves speechless in the shadow of their spellbinding wisdom.

Lauren Pearlman, founder and owner of Providence's Paper Connection International, will regale us with illuminations of her 20 years experience working with Japan's National Treasures in the field of paper-making. Glean insights into the process behind some of the world's finest papers, from fiber to finished sheets. Peep more of what Paper Connection International is all about via their website.

AS220's September Artists in Residence extraordinaire Daniel Luedtke, also of neo-wave Skingraft superstars Gay Beast, will join to unveil his month's work and articulate an artist's history of screen-printing. Highpoint Center for Printmaking pronounces: "Daniel Luedtke's 'bold colors, geometric abstractions and absurdist illustrations within unexpected scenes' express themes of the macabre, the comic and the sexual. A musician and self-taught printmaker, Luedtke's style builds from the poster art tradition while challenging the medium's inherent subordinate and promotional roles." Give 'em hell, Dan.
