This year, in addition to exhibiting publications, Print Ready will have a GIF projection room containing digital works by local and international artists. It is our hope that these digital works, in conjunction with the printed matter of the exhibition, insight conversions and ponderings into how accessibility of media and the transference of narratives through media function in differing states. The works in this room are curated by guest curator Gillian Cole.

Print Ready was started in order to promote the work of artists experimenting with self-publishing zines and books. The aim is to foster additional support for artists working within the versatile medium of self-publishing. Print Ready is a non-profit project that hosts book and zine launches, in addition to large group exhibitions. Our office is located in Vancouver at Dynamo Arts Association.

// ARTIST TALKS

The following artist talks will be held Sunday from 7pm to 9pm:

1. Sylvie Ringer:
Hamburg-based artist Sylvie Ringer shares selected facts and anecdotes from recent research, including: witches and hedges, why paradise needs borders, the Lebensreform (“life reform”) movement and Nature Boys, and August Engelhard’s coconut cult and 1898 book “A Carefree Future.”

2. Stephane Bernard:
Hospital Landscape combines elements of drawing with a spoken word presentation of sampled texts by the likes of Borges, Joyce, Keats, Thoreau, Updike and Wilde, with instrumentals by Bowie. The cut-up narrative is an examination of hope when faced with the possibility of physical annihilation.

3. Sylvana d’Angelo:
Moveable Type/Mobile Zine Media theorist Marshall McLuhan believed that moveable type accelerated and enabled culture by exerting a gravitational effect on cognition, changing perceptual habits, which in turn affects social interactions. McLuhan's insight was that a medium affects society not by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself. The 21st century is smartphone-driven. It is a hand-held computer reality where a vast array of information is available instantly. What is the exchange when choosing print over digital? Sylvana d’Angelo discusses media theory and zine culture, both print and web based.
