The printed broadside has been an important vehicle for information in
Western culture since Gutenberg invented movable type, and has kept
the printing press front and center in the transmission of ideas among
social communities since that time. This exhibition examines both new
and existing works: contemporary broadsides, printed posters and
ephemera that dialogue with the idea of social justice. Many of the
artists will be working in print media, but others will carry the
theme of the exhibition to media like painting and sculpture. The show
will feature Cleveland-based, as well as national and international
artists. In addition to new works, Kurzner will also work with local
archives to highlight historical works related to the exhibition
theme.
