Block Party! Steamroller Prints
by Foundry Art Centre
Exhibition Dates: September 2021 through March 2022
Location: Post-Security, Concourse West Wall
The Foundry Art Centre spotlights the artwork and imagery of the Foundry’s inaugural Block Party, a free summer outdoor art festival which features interactive art projects for all ages, food trucks, beer booths, live music, heavy machinery, and the main event – Steamroller Printing.
The Foundry’s Block Party centers on a unique and over-the-top method of printmaking, using a STEAMROLLER! Large-scale images were commissioned from regional Artists Julia Curran, Dr. Slime, Patrick Owen, Edo Rosenblith, Natalie Schloss, and Grafik House. These images were carved on four by eight woodblocks using a CNC machine. The Foundry’s team of inkers rolled ink onto these blocks, a large muslin sheet was laid on top, and then the whole thing was run over with a steamroller – squishing the ink from the woodblock to the sheet. These fantastic prints were then taken to the Foundry’s Grand Hall to dry on display.
