Bonus Episode: History of Prints | Ann and Tru's art origins

10/15/2021

5 Comments

 
In this bonus episode, Ann and Tru talk about what got them interested in art in the first place. Not when they decided to major in art history in college, but when as a child that interest was first piqued. As a child in suburban New York, Ann's mother was a painter who had a studio in the house. Ann was always welcome to play with the materials in the studio and fell in love. Her choice of art history was her attempt to feel closer to her mom, who died when Ann was twelve. Tru's childhood in Des Moines, Iowa, included an argument shelf in the dining room, which contained books available to settle disagreements: the Bible, dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia. Tru's mother was a journalist and the presence of multiple copies of the day's newspapers fostered an interest and recognition of the power of print.

Editions are the topic of this bonus episode. Ann and Ben talk about the ins and outs of editions: definitions, numbering, exceptions, the publisher-artist relationship. It's definitely not simple.

Bonus Episode 001: positionality

7/15/2021

1 Comment

 
After the debut of Platemark, the most pressing listener questions had to do with the positionality statement. That’s where Shafer and Levy introduce themselves by clarifying their gender, sexuality, and race (Shafer: cis-het white woman, pronouns used are she/her; Levy: cis-het white man, pronouns used are he/him). This bonus episode tackles the issue of positionality as well as the land acknowledgments (Shafer: Baltimore is on the land of the Piscataway Conoy people; Levy: Cleveland is on the ancestral land of the Erie people). There is a lot to unpack and it is uncomfortable. But that is the point.

Your questions are welcome. Leave them in the comments below.
