BOOK RELEASE AND READING
Revolution as an Eternal Dream: the Exemplary Failure of the Madame Binh Graphics Collective
by Chicago artist Mary Patten

  

FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2012, 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Mary Patten's Revolution as an Eternal Dream: the Exemplary Failure of the Madame Binh Graphics Collective examines the political practice and visual propaganda of a now-obscure women's poster, printmaking, and street art collective based in New York City between 1975 and 1983, calling up the perpetual desire for revolution, but also the frailty of such dreams. Published by Half Letter Press, this 84-page book is with full color graphics throughout and includes a preface by the writer and critic Lucy Lippard as well as an afterword by the artist and writer Gregory Sholette. The book will be available for purchase in our Gallery Store that day.

Mary Patten is a visual artist, video-maker, writer, educator and occasional curator with a long and checkered history of political engagement, solidarity and activism. For the last 27 years she has lived and worked in Chicago, after finishing a one-year sentence on Rikers Island for resisting arrest at a notorious anti-apartheid protest. She teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a founding member of Feel Tank Chicago, "politicizing depression since 2003". 

This event is co-presented with Half Letter Press.

All events are free and open to the public and will take place at The Print Center unless otherwise noted.
