Day 2 | The Print Cast Daily - Live from the IFPDA 2019 in New York

10/25/19 • 14 min

Coming to you live today at the IFPDA in New York. Check out this episode to hear what's going on in New York for Print Week if you can't be here to see it in person. Today I go over the happenings yesterday like my talk with master printer Craig Zammiello of Two Palms. We discussed photogravure, his specialty, and I give some detail today on how I think I've been misrepresenting that technique by calling all kinds of other printed things by that name. In fact, there is one material that is hardly available today that makes the process of photogravure possible, and Craig tells us all about it.
I also get into the prints I've been seeing and some of my perspective on some prints that really have hit me. I'm exploring the publishers' booths at the fair each day to see who is making great new work, and trying to meet the people who facilitate that print work. Two artists I'm enjoying are Swoon and Mickalene Thomas, both of whom are printing with Tandem Press out of Madison, Wisconsin. Midwest in the house! I also love the woodcuts of Chitra Ganesh at Durham Press because they're simple, black and white, and carry a lot of power in the message behind the work.
Today at the fair Jeff Koons talks about the state of multiples in the art world, and I'll be making time to interview Karl LaRocca of Kayrock Screenprinting and Kathy Caraccio who runs K. Caraccio Printshop where she is master printer and has been collaborative printing for 40 years. After that Phil Sanders leads a discussion also about collaborative printing. It seems to be the theme of this type of event, so you'll be learning a lot about how artists and printers navigate working together. More to come so keep following The Print Cast to hear more about what's happening around the big apple this weekend.

Day 3 | The Print Cast Daily - Live from the IFPDA 2019 in New York

Today on this mini episode of The Print Cast I recount a very busy day yesterday, Friday October 25th at the IFPDA Print Fair in New York. It was a busy day with Jeff Koons and Christophe Cherix discussing his work including his newest editions on view at The Two Palms booth here at the fair. It was a very illuminating talk that I can't wait to post here on the pod, but today I offer some brief details to entice you about what's to come on the show in the coming weeks.
Next I did interviews with Karl LaRocca from Kayrock Screenprinting and master printer Kathy Caraccio, both who work here in the city. Each of those interviews were different in style and form, and you'll be able to hear those talks later after I have time to edit it all together for your listening pleasure. Kathy's interview was especially lively and funny, so I recount some of the more vibrant aspects of our time on stage.
Two more talks finished the day from the fair programs. One was a conversation between artist Jamie Nares and JP Russell facilitated by Phil Sanders and a talk about how to collect prints with Helen Rosslyn from the London Original Print Fair.
Not only all that, but I also detail what's coming next including an awards presentation and discussion with artists Mel Bochner and Matthew Day Jackson with print collector Jordan Schnitzer. Jim Dine is also joining us Saturday in conversation with Master Printers Ruth Lingen and Julia D'Amario. I'll also be interviewing Leslie DiuGuid at the end of the day, which I am very excited about. There's a lot going on, my voice is getting raspy and tired, and I hope you enjoy hearing about the fair and what you can look forward to in audio for the Print Cast coming soon. Everything I record here will be shared with the podcast and online with the IFPDA, so you can all look forward to some great audio content in the coming months. Stay tuned!
