Art of the Occupy Movement
Uri-Eichen Gallery, 2101 S Halsted
Uri-Eichen Gallery welcomes you to Pilsen for a graphic design poster show of art from the Occupy Movement in cooperation with Occuprint. Occuprint showcases posters from the worldwide Occupy movement. Posters on Occuprint can provide an important bridge between supporters who may not speak the same language, yet know they are part of the same struggle. www.uri-eichen.com
Occuprint is dedicated to the poster art of the global Occupy movement. The Occuprint website is meant to connect people with this work, and provide a base of support for print-related media within the #Occupy movement. All posters displayed on the site are part of the creative commons, and available to be downloaded for noncommercial use, though we ask that artists are given attribution.
Our Print Lab is a collaboration with the Occupy Wall Street Screen Printing Guild, an official working group within the New York City General Assembly. Everyone is welcome to print with them. We house a collection of graphics for screenprinting, many of which are used by the Guild itself. We look forward to creating and distributing more printed matter by supporting the development of screenprinting labs at other occupations, and by printing more of the wonderful posters that we are receiving.
Occuprint is currently being curated by Molly Fair, Jesse Goldstein, Josh MacPhee and John Boy. We are always open to finding new collaborators, so please do get in touch.
