Self Help Graphics & Art is proud to present Sueños Real, Kalli Arte’s Beyond the Press culminating exhibition opening on Saturday, July 23, from 5:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. Calli or Kalli (home in Nahuatl) is central to the collective's art practice and the focal point of the exhibition.

Paying homage to the cultural ecosystem that is Boyle Heights, the exhibition will be grounded by a symbolic installation of the artists’ home. This central sculpture will connect like roots and branches, to various images of elements, people, and iconographies that are core to their creative practice and family unit.

Between the fourteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Florentines wrote extensively, committing their personal and business exchanges to ink on paper, even while thinking about wealth not in terms of metallic coins but rather in terms of abstracted moneys of account. In and well beyond Florence, Renaissance artists across Europe worked with gold and silver, wax and wood, sound and space to create both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This panel seeks to revisit the "material turn" in the humanities and to recouple Renaissance materiality to the immaterial. Thus we ask about the spatial, technical, ritual, and institutional framings of any material work of art and about the past voices, phantom performers, and music that enlivened plays, dances, processions, liturgies, and other events. We seek to incite more performative, active imaginings of various objects in their artworlds—books, musical instruments, tools, pigments, dye woods, lead type, copper plates, among much more—and the artists who once manipulated them, breathed on them, and performed before them.
Proposals will also be considered for a special issue of Arts journal co-edited by Lisa Pon (USC) and Kate van Orden (Harvard).
Please email 150-word abstract and 200-word cv to lisapon@usc.edu and vanorden@fas.harvard.edu before AUGUST 1.

Shop Swap is an annual print exchange exhibition designed to both increase visibility for CCP member artists by providing an opportunity to exhibit in another country and to bring work by artists from other community print shops to our city. The exhibition on view at CCP consists of prints made by artist members of the East London Printmakers (ELP) organization while CCP member prints are being exhibited concurrently at ELP. Among the artists included in this exhibition are Susan Clarke, Wuon-Gean Ho, and Thom Igwe-Walker with prints representing the processes of etching, linocut, screenprint, and more.
The collective body of work represented in this exchange exhibition illustrates and celebrates the work of the dedicated artists who support their community print shops as members. The Shop Swap: East London Printmakers at CCP exhibition will be on view in our Lithography Room Gallery concurrently alongside our 8th Biennial FOOTPRINT International Exhibition.
