PIR - WEEK 6 IN THE FISHER LIBRARY by Wendy Murray

WOW! Putting this post together I realise how much I've done this week; Monday I printed the final colour on the CMYK dust jackets, the books arrived from printer on Thursday morning, printed 100 front pages on the Albion, 100 screen printed covers, got a saddle stitch lesson with Janet Parker-Smith up at SCA and collated and bound the first 7 books. This weekend the Sydney Urban Crew have all come together to fold, bind an package the edition. What a week!

During September - November 2017, I will continue to document local histories and research poster makers of Sydney's Inner West and Western suburbs. If you have pulled your punches or know someone who has - please get in touch! Project instagram: @pullyourpunches

Developing the new installation work for the Newtown Art Seat. I'm really interested to uncover more Sydney poster makers, posters and stories. The work has been developed using a combination of letterpress and Letraset processes. The mini poster will be published at the completion of the installation period - stay tuned! If you have pulled your punches in the Inner West, Sydney - I want to hear from you - please get in touch!  

The Newtown Art Seat presents innovative contemporary art to the local community and provides artists and community groups with the opportunity to exhibit in public space for the purpose of experimental, non-commercial artistic outcomes.
