Opening Day - Didn't You Get the Memo?

Masterminded by returning collaborators Luca Antonucci and Carissa Potter Carlson, Colpa Press guest curates this month with a group exhibition in the tradition of small print goods and the recent history of the office space.


About the show:

This exhibition will look at the influence of the office aesthetic in independent publishing. The works selected for this show are either made with office materials, or reference the work environment in a pertinent way. These artists have used materials developed for the workplace to craft deliberate hand made books. As the office space becomes increasingly efficient, these artists address the relics of office production: the fax machine, the dot matrix printer, even the file folder.

Featuring work from:  Eric William Carroll, Luke Fischbeck, Sternberg Press, The MIT Press, Daniel Glendening, Amy Harris, Vanessa Hope, Josh Keller, Maciej Makalowski, Marfa Book Co., Paper Monument, Nickolas Mohanna, Publication Studio, Dexter Sinister, Carmen Winant, Daniel Yovino, Melissa Gordon, Christian Marazzi, Andreas Koller, Luca Beeler, Nicholas Miller, Tim Belonax, Luke Stettner, Matthew Scott Gualco, Luca Nino Antonucci, Paul Branca, Barbara Ess, Fillip, Rob Giampietro, Marc Handelman, Zach Houston, Adam Katz, Julia Sherman, Brian Kennon/2nd Cannons Publications, Chosil Kil, Alex Klein, Marisa Olson, Paul Pieroni, Laurel Ptak, Eileen Quinlan, Mihcael Smoler, Jamie Stewart, Oraib Toukan, Lia Trinka-Browner, Jen Delos Reyes, Rafael Rozendaal, Ryan Waller, Amy Yao, Jordan Stein, Glass House, Tarak Shah and Maggie Lawson, Rachel Zoller

Opening Day - Discipline

Paloma Checa-Gismero will be inhabiting the Mauve? cubicle for the next two weeks, as she settles in to her new temporary home as Mauve?'s resident artist. She'll be creating work related to her reflections on what an office space is, culminating in a publication and the exhibition that will consume the following two weeks of the Mauve? month.

About the show:

During a four week-long residence at Mauve?, Paloma Checa-Gismero engages in an inquiry on the office space as a place where the body, the individual, and labor relate to each other in specific ways. As a result of the time spent at Mauve?, she will craft a publication containing materials related to her reflections on what an office space is.

Office Schedule: Mondays & Thursdays, 10:30 am - 1:30 pm.

About the artist:

Paloma Checa Gismero has a BA in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid. She has a MFA in Art, Production and Research, and she is currently involved in the writing of her PhD dissertation on The Presence of the Crafts Paradigm in Contemporary Arts. She works as an artist, cultural manager and educator. Until July 2011 she has been a resident artist at Rampa production space in Madrid, Spain. She is currently a guest researcher at University of California at Berkeley and works as an art critique in various Spanish media.

A closing reception will be held Friday, August 24th at 7pm, to review Paloma's monthly report. Laser pointers and interrogating eyebrows welcome.
