Special Occasion Card 2010
Sebastiaan Bremer
"Wenn der volle Roemer kreist"
(When the full rummer is going around)

This year's special card was inspired by Beethoven's Ode to Joy. It is an archival inkjet and screen print with loose confetti, and comes with a matching blue envelope. Printed in a limited edition of 400, it is signed and numbered by the artist.

Sebastiaan Bremer was born in The Netherlands in 1970. He moved to New York in 1992. An autodidact, he enrolled in the Free Academy in The Hague in 1989-1991. In 1998 he attended Skowhegan, and in 2001 Art Omi. He was a visiting professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, VA, Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, NY, and was a resident artist at the Lower East Side Printshop in 2006/2007. His work is in many collections around the world, including the MoMA, LACMA, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Special Occasion Card 2008 - $5
William Villalongo
"Reckless Eyeballing"

“Reckless Eyeballing” is an eleven-color screenprint that measures 5”x 7” closed and comes with a silver envelope. Available for $5 or free with membership, the card is a fundraiser for the Printshop.

“Like the surrealists, Villalongo might also believe that exorcising the imaginative faculties of the ‘unconscious mind’ to the attainment of a dream-like state can be ultimately ‘truer’ than, everyday reality. Also, like the Surrealists in the wake of the first World War, Villalongo also believes that a more open and true perception of reality can provoke change—political, social and most importantly, personal” states Franklin Sirmans in a recent exhibition catalogue.

Villalongo first collaborated with the Printshop in 2006 when he was awarded a Publishing Residency. He has a solo show coming up in spring 2009 at Susan Inglett Gallery, NY. He has recently participated in exhibitions at El Museo Del Barrio, James Cohan Gallery, IPCNY, and Exit Art, among others.

Special Occasion Card 2007 - $5
Mary Temple
“Front Room, Neon Light”

Temple received the Printshop’s Special Editions Residency in 2006, for which she created a series of six screenprints titled Light Describing a Room.  Temple recollected Wittgenstein’s statement that if eternity is taken to mean timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.  In musing on this idea, her aim was to “make prints that could conflate a single moment with the way time flows through the present cinematically.”

The work created during the Residency was featured in exhibitions here at the Printshop, at the IPCNY, in “Mary Temple, Works on Paper” the Trois Gallery at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Atlanta,GA, and will be included in an exhibition at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore, MD, in December 2007.

All sales proceeds from this edition will benefit the Printshop’s programs.
