Saturday September 8th @ 7pm

Dynamo Arts Association
30 EAST 6TH AVE VANCOUVER, BC

Join Print Ready & Dynamo Arts Association for the launch of Sunny
Nestlers new publication Undergrowth. Recent art works will be
available for viewing, in addition to a selection of Nestlers recent
publications that will be available for purchase.

UNDERGROWTH is a book of drawings about an imagined parallel universe, an explosion of organisms in inner and outer space, a journey through the hairy underbelly of desert and the intestinal depths of the forest.

Sunny Nestler is a cross-disciplinary artist from Phoenix, Arizona
currently living and working in Vancouver, BC. Their work incorporates a
wide variety of media including animation, sculptural installation,
painting, drawing, and art publications. These works have been exhibited
across both the United States and Canada as well as featured in various
arts publications. Nestlers work is informed by a knowledge of biology and
a keen interest in both naturally and synthetically constructed
environments, and relationships within those environments. Nestler holds a
BFA (painting) and BS (Biology & Society) from Arizona State University and
a MFA from Emily Carr University.

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 2018: Submissions

 Submissions for Print Ready 2018 are closed!
 _____________________________________

The next edition of the annual self-publishing exhibition will take place at Dynamo Arts Association on March 24th and 25th.

Print Ready's mandate is to provide a small survey of contemporary self-publishing projects in a gallery setting. Special curatorial consideration is given to work that demonstrates "the artist's hand" including (but not restricted to) the incorporation of drawing, hand-lettering, collage, hand-binding, unique alteration and experimentation with print technology. Priority is given to works published within the past year.

Individual artists are limited to one entry; collaborative projects may be considered as a separate entries. Artists may submit multiple collective publications.


To Submit:

Artists are requested to provide an example image of their work and/or a link to their web page, along with a few sentences of description of their art practice or submission piece. Please indicate the format, size, and any special considerations for installation of the submitted work.

Artists are required to provide one copy of each work/publication for installation. **Please note: This work will be on display for public viewing and, as a result, is expected to show signs of wear during the course of the exhibition.

Artists are invited to supply additional copies (five suggested; 20 maximum) of each work exhibited for sale on their behalf.

***Print Ready is open to artists incorporating sculpture or other non-print material into the exhibition so long as it relates directly to their publication/work. If special arrangements for installation are needed, artists must contact and receive confirmation with Print Ready prior to the submission deadline, due to limited exhibition space.

***There is no entry fee for Print Ready. Artists receive all funds for works sold on their behalf.

*** All work must be picked up the day following the exhibition unless prior arrangements are made with Print Ready. All publications not retrieved become property of Print Ready.

[submission closing date: February 5th]
