This is an abridged version of Beauvais Lyons’ juror statement for the 13th parkside National Small Print collection.

Beauvais Lyons explains the advantages and disadvantages of national juried competitions as they are carried out today. Lyons states that he could imagine a manner in which they could be executed in a progressive and significant manner rather than one that suppresses “innovation and controversy.”

Pressler, Jessica. “Remember Zines? Look At Them Now.” The New York Times. 07 May 2006.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/07/fashion/sundaystyles/07ZINES.html

Jessica Pressler, focusing on the first issue of Boston-based zine Lemon (the creators of which she has interviewed), traces the rise of zine culture and its implications for art and for public culture. She notes, in particular, that these zines are no longer meant to have wide appeal, but, rather, to be a visual experience with aesthetic and artistic consequences.

Sperandio, Chris. “Interview with James Iannaccone.” Anchor Graphics @ Columbia College Chicago. 2007.

In this interview about his residency, Sperandio talks about his “Kartoon Kings” collaborative project with British artist Simon Grennan, about the democratic nature of comics and prints, and about the discursive experience of the printshop. “For the most part,” he says, “printmakers like to share their secrets and their tricks and techniques.” Given the multiple nature of prints - which “defies the marketplace” in a politically significant way – Sperandio suggests that prints also enact a discursive experience beyond the printshop.
