As an annual fundraiser, the Roadworks Steamroller Printing
Festival celebrates printmaking and the art of the book in a
spectacular way: printing 3’ by 3’ carved linoleum blocks using a
7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller. Each year, a featured
group of artists and printmakers design and carve printing
plates from linoleum; the resulting plates are printed in a limited
edition during the event.

curated by Maymanah Farhat and Jennie Hinchcliff
This exhibition at two venues explores the history of some of the creative hubs and artists through the lens of the copier art they produced. I look forward to this look back at what was going on when I first moved to San Francisco and discovered Postcard Palace, a nexus of copier art and artists.

Books Against The Wall
Peninsula Museum of Art
Work by Zach Clark, Sarah Klein, Mary V. Marsh, Andy Rottner and Lorna Stevens.

Five Bay Area artists have translated their book works to mixed media objects and multimedia projects. The results challenge the viewer to consider the book as print, sculpture, animation, or electronic game. Some pieces share the process used in creating it, while others expand a concept by presenting it in a new format, broadening and enhancing our notions of what a book can be and do.

Between Here & Now
An installation about reading with rubbings from the surrounding streets as evidence of here, and linoleum cuts on book pages and hands holding books to suggest journeys in the mind experienced now. Viewable at any time, it is on Milvia, a Bicycle Boulevard.

Read Here Now event August 26, 5-7
Collecting stories about a book that you read, and when you remember it you think about where you were when you read it. Meet at the window to write your memory on a letterpress printed postcard for you to keep. Send a photo of the card, or just the story to mary@mvmarsh.com

Read Here Now
Do you have a memory of reading a book, a story that you always associate with where you were, and what you were doing while reading it? While making my window installation Between Here & Now, I was thinking about this idea of experiencing both my physical location and the world in my mind at the same time.
contribute a memory about reading
Print out and write down a memory you have of reading a book that always reminds you of where you were when you were reading it.
You can also color in the blank book to evoke the story or the place you remember. Please take a photo of each and email it to mary@mvmarsh.com. I will be sharing the stories on my instagram and compiling them into an artist's book.

I am so pleased to have one of my new Here/Hear prints included in the 2021 Berkeley Art Center juried show.
