SUMMARY:Cheap Copies! DIY publishing with Mimeo\, Hecto and Ditto
DESCRIPTION:with Rich Dana\nMon Aug. 22 & Tues Aug. 23 \, 6-9pm\nat PS1 Close (538 S. Gilbert)\npay-what-you-can: $15-100 \nVisit http://www.publicspaceone.com/events/cheap-copies to register \nBefore social media\, even before xerox-copied zines and flyers\, marginalized communities used simple copying techniques– hectography (gelatin printing) mimeography (stencil printing) and spirit duplication (alcohol transfers\, also known as “ditto”)– to make their voices heard. From political activists struggling for independence in India to the early gay rights activists in New York City\, and from the dissident writers of Samizdat (self publishing) in the Soviet Union to the striking migrant farm workers of Southern California\, these analog copiers were used to spread the word through words and pictures in the 20th century. \nMostly forgotten\, I have been studying and recreating these techniques for the last 10 years. In 2021\, I self-published a book called “Cheap Copies! As a DIY guide for those who want to reconnect with the non-digital world of analog communication. \nThis summer\, I’m setting out across the US on a series of in-person workshops to demonstrate these low-cost techniques and how contemporary artists and writers can use them to publish editions of zines\, chapbooks\, prints\, and flyers. We’ll begin by discussing the history of office copying technology and how marginalized creators adopted these techniques in the early 20th century. Next\, we’ll dive into demos of making master sheets\, operation of vintage copiers\, and creating our own simple copiers from off-the-shelf materials. Finally\, participants will have full access to all of the materials and equipment to create their own editions with guidance from the instructor (me!) Participants will leave with the ability to create their own prints with miminal investment and without a studio.

SUMMARY:A Hub\, a Network\, an Archive: 55 Years of International Writers in Iowa City
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, which is open August 22 – December 16\, 2022\, celebrates the 55th anniversary of the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa. This program has brought close to 1\,600 writers from more than 150 countries to the UI since 1967\, and this exhibition tells the story of the IWP’s genesis\, its role in cultural diplomacy\, Iowa City as a site of literary praxis and global networking\, and the images of Iowa that writers have carried home with them through their work. Curators Nataša Ďurovičová and Lisa Gardinier dove into Special Collections & Archives materials\, including the Paul Engle Papers\, the International Writing Program Records\, the Toothpaste/Coffee House Press Records\, and more while researching for the exhibition. Also included are items from the UI Libraries circulating collection\, IWP’s Shambaugh House\, and friends of the IWP in addition to large portraits of writers by photographer Thomas Langdon.
