Mauve? presents: A Baby Retrospective of the Works of Make Tank
Scones courtesy of Yali's Cafe"A Baby Retrospective of the Works of Make Tank" opened today. The show includes postcards, printing blocks, and letterpress posters featuring homegrown film festivals from rural Alabama, affordable housing prototype announcements from the young architectural underground, and recent work publicizing lecture series at universities from the southern states. Opening day crowds smiled as they closely inspected each piece, discussing their own personal relationships to print and letterpress, before walking away contentedly with a free "Ride a Bike" postcard for themselves or loved ones.
As a reminder, Make Tank has made available a limited number of authentic commemorative letterpress posters for $10 a piece. Please email mauve? if you are interested in making a purchase.

Mauve? presents: a Southern Letterpress Sample
With commemorative letterpress posters for sale: $10.
(All proceeds go directly to the artists.)
About the artists:
Make Tank is a multi-disciplinary design collective formed by the collaboration between Mark Wise and Danny Wicke. Make Tank is founded on the idea that learning comes through making and making generates ideas. The collaboration began at the Auburn University Rural Studio in Newbern, AL -- a design|build architecture program in West Alabama that both Mark and Danny attended. In nearby Akron, AL, Mark began learning letterpress printing from Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. Amos generously provided materials and time to teach Mark letterpress. Danny joined Mark a year later and thus began the collaborative adventure.
Mark has taught at the Rural Studio, worked for Marlon Blackwell in Fayetteville, AK, and currently teaches architecture at Mississippi State University.
Danny continues to teach at the Rural Studio, both thesis students and Outreach Fellows.

A BABY RETROSPECTIVE OF THE WORK OF MAKETANK
Each piece of work (letterpress poster, postcard, or printing block), despite its purpose, attempts to explore something different graphically, technically, or procedurally from the previous piece of work. The success and failure of the work is measured by what was learned during the process of making and what understanding was derived from reflecting upon the artifact. Generally, the work leans towards a modernist aesthetic searching for a distinct voice. (May 2007 - May 2009)
