A New Endeavor:  Flat Tail Press Gallery

1/22/2016

Next week will be a big one for Flat Tail Press! Micah and Ryan have been working for nearly 9 months towards the date...a sort of birth you might say. We are excited to announce that Flat Tail Press will now have its own gallery space on Minot State's campus. We will be kicking off our exhibition schedule with the work of Kim Fink, a former FTP guest in 2014. 

By drawing together multiple printmaking processes and sampling mass media imagery, Fink’s work expands the world of contemporary printmaking.  Flat Tail Press co- director, Micah Bloom, comments: “In Luna Joker, Fink presents a rich diversity of printmaking methods, often combining word play with colorful ‘borrowed’ images in a pastiche of pattern and wit.”
 
Born and raised in the American West, Fink is fascinated with its unique, postmodern expressions of popular culture. “Since arriving in the remote Northern Plains fifteen years ago, I learned to embrace the remoteness of the Dakotas. I became interested in issues of comparative culture and cultural memory,” Fink states.  Referencing the Montana poet, Richard Hugo, on the West’s ancient newness, Fink quotes: “Out West . . .  the only thing is neon.”

Gallery History:
Over a year ago, Micah and Ryan started looking at this one beautiful, but relatively unused space in the administration building. Because of its quiet nature and remarkable lighting we began to ask if it might be converted into gallery space to help carry forward the educational goals of the press while beautifying our campus. Thanks to funding from MSU's President, we were able to renovate the space. Next week, all of Micah's hard work will come to fruition.

Our hope with the gallery is to showcase mostly works on paper with shows rotating every three to four months. The space actually includes 3 distinct areas (a landing, upper stairwell, and upper landing). Exhibits may range from a micro-show of approximately 5-6 pieces, up to 20 or so depending upon sizes of the work.

Luna Joker opens Thursday, January 28th at 6:00-800 with comments from the artist at 7:00pm.

We are well into planning our spring line-up of visiting artists. While several are still in negotiation, I am pleased to announce Kim Fink's visit on February 26-28. Jessica and Ryan are particularly excited because Kim was their printmaking professor in graduate school at the University of North Dakota (and we love his work!). Kim is an experienced artist and educator and has been running Sundog Multiples at UND since he arrived at UND. Please check out his work here.

FTP directors, Jessica Christy and Ryan Stander studied at the University of North Dakota while in graduate school, but they never had anything like this when they were there. Professor Kim Fink, and director of Sundog Multiples at UND recently bought and restored a 19th Century Brisset Star Wheel litho press. We hope they let us come play sometime soon. Check out the gallery of images below. Read more about it here.
