Founded in 1982 in Minneapolis as a book design and production service, BookMobile has expanded into a full range of services for publishers. BookMobile is a pioneer in Print On Demand, having launched digital book printing in December 1996. BookMobile serves a variety of clients, including trade houses, university presses and independent publishers.
Thursday, September 16; 7pm Zines on Toast is a touring evening of entertainment and information with zinesters from the UK (Rumlad, Last Hours, Hey Monkey Riot and Morgenmuffel) as well as Portland's Alex Wrekk (Brainscan and Stolen Sharpie Revolution). Join us for accounts of UK zine culture including stories from Alex's trip to the UK last year plus tales of the London zine symposium, vegan mass catering, UK social centres, revolution, punk rock, anarchy and more! Snacks and local zinester meet-and-greet to follow.
Tuesday, September 28; 7pm MCBA/Jerome Fellow Cecilia Ramon worked for years with a master artist learning the meditative ink painting practice known as Sumi-e painting. In this roundtable, she'll talk about the philosophy and practice of Sumi-e, which seeks to capture the spiritual essences of "the Four Gentlemen" (bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, and cherry blossom). The talk will be followed by a brief demonstration using traditional Sumi-e tools.
Tuesday, October 19; 7pm Bring your work-in-progress to this friendly, informal critique group, run by a rotating cast of Twin Cities artists who work with books and print.
