PopRally Presents an Evening with Cannonball Press & Space 1026
MoMA
The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
Join PopRally for a special night with Martin Mazorra and Mike Houston, printmakers and founders of Cannonball Press, along with artists from Space 1026, a unique creative community located in downtown Philadelphia.
Cannonball Press is a Brooklyn-based organization that produces affordable black and white prints by a number of artists (including Sean Star Wars, David Rees, David Ellis, Maya Hayuk, and Swoon.) In addition to their own art, Mazorra and Houston also work together to create large format woodcut prints. Space 1026 was founded over a decade ago by a handful of artists and tricksters who organize rowdy public events and outrageous installations at their building and at other institutions. At the heart of Space 1026 is a communal screenprinting workshop where the madness comes to life.
Following presentations by the artists, Gretchen Wagner, Curatorial Assistant in MoMA’s Department of Prints & Illustrated Books, moderates a discussion about the artists’ work, printmaking, collaborations, and more. A cocktail reception follows the event.
Tickets are $5 and are available at the Museum information and Film desks. You must be twenty-one or older to attend this event.
The Cullman Education and Research Building is located at 4 West 54 St.
PopRally would like to thank Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte for their sponsorship.
PopRally is funded by the generous support of Katherine Farley and Jerry I. Speyer.
