LIVE ACTION SCREENPRINTING

_Live Action Screenprinting_ is an ongoing project in which I set up a temporary screenprinting studios in public places and art venues. Participants can bring any printable material and watch (or help) me print on it, for free or for a modest price. The goal of the project is to create accessible fashion and artwork, demystify process, and make a concrete connection between artist, space and viewer. Plans are in the works to make a self-contained, bike-driven studio unit, possibly with wind power(!). _Live Action Screenprinting_ is often done in collaboration with »Myles Smutney-Hyde.
