An upcoming participatory public print project by Lisa Bulawsky/Vertigo Press in collaboration with All Along Press happening in Minneapolis, October 13 -16, 2010
YOUR PARTICIPATION IS REQUESTED! SEE DETAILS BELOW.
We Belong to This Band is a collection of homages or portraits of artists and printmakers who have gone before us. It is meant to be an ephemeral monument that celebrates the lives of our artistic heroes and fellow mortals, propagating their memory through the printed image.
Participants contribute images of their heroes that are then printed and bound into tear-off pads, attached to garden stakes, and planted throughout the city of Minneapolis, to be taken by passers-by.
This activity will take place just before and during the MAPC Conference, “New World/Old World,” hosted by the University of Minnesota Regis Center for The Arts in Minneapolis, October13 -16, 2010.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Think of your favorite dead artist.
- Make a portrait of them on a relief block or photopolymer plate developed for relief printing.
- Block, plate, or image should be exactly 5” x 7.”
- Include the artist’s name and the year they passed somewhere in the image.
- Send us your block. We’ll print it and distribute the prints. Your work will be all over Minneapolis!

Additional info:
- In the event that a portrait image is not possible, you can create another kind of homage to your favorite dead artist - perhaps a facsimile of an image by that artist or something in the style of their work.
- Images will be printed on a letterpress.
- You can use mounted or unmounted linoleum, type-high blocks, 3/4’’ wood or plywood, or photopolymer plates developed for relief printing on a letterpress.
