Open Studio Hangout at Moniker Press

Mar 052017

05.03.17

After an unexpected slow start to the year (thanks to everyone for their patience etc) I’m excited to announce… Moniker Press’ first open studio day!

Drop by on March 11th to learn about the inner workings of the Moniker Press risograph print shop! At the open studio, you’re invited to: pick up a copy of the “Intro to Riso” zine, see the RZ and MZ printers in person, view print samples from the archive and meet others who are interested in risograph printing.

A selection of riso books collected in Mexico City at RRReplica (as well as others from the Reading Nook) will be on display for browsing / inspiration.

Important note: this event is not a workshop (although we hope to have workshops available later this year). Feel free to ask basic questions about the print process but for more in-depth discussions regarding projects, pricing, and file set up you must schedule an individual meeting at a later date. Email erica@monikerpress.ca if you have a project in mind!

Our favourite time of year in the studio and outside!

It was an amazing weekend. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Moniker Press table and supported the VABF 2016. This year for the annual Vancouver Art Book Fair Moniker Press released three new publications: fol.cl, Puddle Popper pt 2 and a 2017 Risograph Artists Calendar. These projects would not have been possible without the extra assistance from Graham McFie – a huge thank you to Graham for all his help!

For those who were unable to attend check out the pictures below, also the new publications will be made available in our online shop very soon!

Had the pleasure of working with my friend Brandon Cotter on curating and designing this reading room that was installed at the Project Space Fundraiser Event on September 28th and will also be installed at Project Space’s Vancouver Art/Book Fair 2015 (Vancouver Art Gallery Annex, 750 Hornby Street – located in the second floor stairwell)

The Garden is a modular reading room installation by Moniker Press, in collaboration with artist Brandon Cotter. Objects reconstructed from salvaged materials host a collection of local artists’ books, zines and publications that open to topics of contemporary thought, art criticism, boundaries and restrictions, as well as other unusual and unique subject matters.

Sit. Read. Stay awhile.

Access Gallery gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Government of British Columbia through the BC Arts Council and BC Gaming, the City of Vancouver, Burrard Arts Foundation, and our committed donors, members and volunteers.

This exhibition was made possible in part due to the generosity of Emily Carr University of Art and Design’s Imagining Our Futures initiative.

Established as an artist-run centre in 1991, Access Gallery is platform for emergent and experimental art practices. We enable critical conversations and risk taking through new configurations of audience, artists and community.

Avenue is an artist-operated gallery and studio space that develops and exhibits contemporary art practices. Committed to the notion of flexibility, Avenue considers itself a hybrid platform and artist project space. Through the facilitation of exhibitions, publications, performances, talks, meetings and music, among other creative gestures, Avenue cultivates emerging and critical acts, providing a space for unconventional events to occur.
