Irrelevant Press and Friends
June 3 – June 25, 2022
We dream and work to create a world of tenderness, honesty, poetry, abolition, queerness, printing and sharing. Connecting through tangible works, zine fests and book fairs, Irrelevant Press and Friends presents a special community bond of artists and printmakers.
Irrelevant Press and Friends, a recollective, surveys the linkage with those we create with. In this exhibition, artists from the Bay Area and beyond explore an ethos of connectedness, belonging, and identity. “Friends” also represents an interpretation that betters the community and its locality.
This exhibition prioritizes our relationship with hardworking and imaginative people, acknowledging their right to be and belong. Conscious of this context, Irrelevant Press and Friends showcases forms of collaboration while focusing on cohesion among our varied communities.
Featured artists include:
Yoni Asega, Dio Brooks, Maxwell Churchill, Michael Diamond, Jillian Downs, Ocean Escalanti, Gross Grain, Drew Grasso, Jon Hioki, Brianna Kalajian, Ramon Keimig, Sanaa Khan, Andrew Kodama, Cora Lautze, Ian Mackay, marlo magdalene, Jason Mai, Carissa Potter, hannah rubin, Critty Smitty, Situationist, Ace West, Krusty Wheatfield, Ryan Whelan, Andrew Win & more
