SUMMARY:Visual Noise: Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.
DESCRIPTION:March 22 – April 19\, 2019\nArtist’s Reception: April 19\, 6:30-8:00 p.m. \n\nVisual Noise features 740 recent letterpress poster prints by acclaimed letterpress printer and book artist Amos Paul Kennedy\, Jr. Kennedy is an internationally-recognized fixture in the letterpress community. Renowned for his bold use of typography and renegade letterpress technique\, he has built a forceful\, witty\, and incisive creative practice. He is careful to align his work and persona\, using both to interrogate past and present experiences of race\, class\, education\, labor\, and art. The letterpress posters in this exhibition include selections from several series of work\, drawing on a wide range topics and texts including (but certainly not limited to) the words of Rosa Parks\, declarations for the necessity of books and libraries\, forceful reminders of America’s foundational relationship with slavery\, the alignment between food and identity\, and praise for acts of skilled making. \nWhile his work is widely exhibited and held in collections\, he ensures access to his posters by selling them at affordable prices. Visual Noise will culminate with a “Cash & Carry” event\, and all posters will be available for purchase. \nKennedy will be in residence on campus April 15-19\, conducting a week-long series of events co-sponsored by The Wells Book Arts Center\, Office of Diversity and Inclusion\, the String Room Gallery and the Wells College Scholar-In-Residence program. \nAll are welcome to join Kennedy at the following public events during his residency: \n\nOpen Printing Drop-In Session: April 15\, 3:30-6:00 p.m. — Morgan Hall\nOpen Printing Drop-In Session: April 16\, 3:30-6:00 p.m. — Morgan Hall\nTea Time with Amos: April 17\, 3:00 PM — Sommer Center\nDocumentary Film Screening\, Proceed and Be Bold: April 17\, 7:00 p.m. — Stratton Hall Room 209\nArtist Talk\, Talkin’ Loud and Sayin’ Nothin‘: April 18\, 6:00 p.m. — Stratton 209\nClosing Reception and Cash & Carry\, Visual Noise: April 19\,  6:30—8:00 p.m. — String Room Gallery
