A dream to WINter

Through the windows -- through doors -- burst like a ruthless force,

Mind not the old wind beseeching the young mind, We shall over comfortable

Ransack round you the rustling luxuries tread,

ploughing to "Find it!", bending your head

Into the mystical moist star-spangled night-air,

as time down the stairs a nest of exploding kisses lies in wait

All spheres, grown, ungrown, suns, moons, planets rotate

- Walt Whitman+Arthur Rimbaud+Brian Kenny

My work in DEATH Magazine: The Animal Issue

Death #4 is animalistic. Mx Justin Vivian Bond's cat-looking chicken, Pearl, pen's some words for us, and internet guru Alex Blagg answers our questions about death in the digital domain. Also in this issue: are penguins purposefully getting lost? Is it ethical to flush your son's frog and then swap it for a replacement? Are elephants the most funeral-loving animal? Should bird-like mothers involve their children in their suicidal narratives? Did Rudy Huxtable properly grieve Lamont Goldfish? William Hundley, Winston Chmielinski, Stephen Scott Smith, Sarah Shapiro, Brian Kenny and an animate slew of others complete the issue with their distinctive visions of dissolution. Corporeal cover sculpture and photo by Daniel Arsham.

24
DAYS
OF
MATTER
PRINTED

LIVE SCREENPRINTING DAILY Until Dec 24th
Single Artists: Mon-Fri 5-7pm, Sun 4-6pm
Groups of 5-6 Artists: Sat 2-6pm

Curated/organized by J. Morrison

Printed Matter is pleased to present 24 DAYS OF MATTER PRINTED, a live screenprinting project by J. Morrison. From December 1st until the 24th, daily screenprinting sessions will feature a rotating cast of 20 artists creating collaborative works in the Printed Matter storefront. During these sessions, the artistic collaboration will be accumulative, with a new artist each day adding his or her own print to the previously produced prints. Prints will be available for purchase at any stage during this process.

Working under the theme of a "Self-Portrait,” the artists will print their creation on a variety of media - from Sweatshirts, Underwear, Handkerchiefs, and a special fine art Paper Edition of 100. They will be priced affordably, ranging from $10-$100, with the paper edition increasing as the show progresses with all of the artists' screenprints collaged together. The works created will be on exhibit at Printed Matter through mid-January.

This year’s exhibition with J. Morrison follows in a long tradition of Printed Matter's holiday events to support the institution, including past fundraisers organized by the artists' collective Collaborative Projects (or COLAB), and Giftland, curated by Max Schumann and guest curators. J. Morrison’s show title and theme are a play off the “12 Days of Christmas” and in modern commercial times the "25 Days of Christmas," giving an artist's alternative view of holiday consumerism.
