Visit to BookWorks

Gretchen and Steve hanging out in front of some awesome Hatch Show Prints.

This past weekend, several Pyramid-ers went down to Asheville, NC for the Ladies of Letterpress Conference.(Gretchen and I presented at the Community Printshop panel). Half the conference events took place at BookWorks, a print and book arts center.  I was blown away. Everything was so clean and organized and the space had a great open layout. See photos over at the Pyramid Letterpress blog!

Event: Opening reception of Wavelengths exhibitions, included work by Gretchen Schermerhorn

Time: 7 to 9pm

Gretchen Schermerhorn, Pyramid Atlantic's Artistic Director and

printmaker-artist extraordinaire, is one of four artists featured in Wavelengths, an exhibition curated by the microWave project and hosted by Honfleur Gallery. Gretchen's installation consists of numerous prints on handmade paper hung at different heights and depths. Each of the prints was inspired by the sonic form of peoples' answer to a simple question, "What makes you feel alive?." Gretchen recorded peoples' answers and used the sonic map of the those answers as the basis for each of her prints. A sound component comprised of the recordings collected through out this process will also be included.

If you miss the opening Wavelengths will be up in Honfeur Gallery through July 22.
