Power of the Presses

Call a Wrecking Ball to Make a Window was included in this exhibition at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) that coincides with the Dog Ear Festival.

From BIMA: The power of the press is a power considered sacred by many. The printing press is a tool of revolution, long associated with democracy, freedom of speech, and the ability to reach the masses to exchange ideas and ideals. The printed word or image can unite or divide, heal or hurt, educate or misinform. Artists, as adaptive creative agents, have long embraced the printing press. Power of the Presses, the large-scale artists’ books, broadsides, and print exhibition at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art displays the full creative potency of this hallowed art form. For the duration of the exhibit, a printing press will take center stage and be put to work on-site by visitors and special guests.
