PRINTtEXT Shop and Space

From 2013-2017 we operated a retail and community space called PRINTtEXT (a name and identity that has evolved alongside our work). The location at 652 E 52nd Street started as a magazine + book shop (designed and decorated by Stephen Garstang) where we hosted hundreds of events (a launch party for Marfa Journal’s fourth issue; a panel discussion with Cherry Bombe), openings, readings, and meetups. Our work was featured in Riposte, 032c, Need Supply, Vogue, Juxtapoz, Driftless, Magculture, and more. We spoke at Creative Mornings in 2015 and to an AIGA audience in 2014. Readings included evenings with Monster House Press and Soft River, Kaveh Akbar and Bree Joann, FAF Collective and more. Art openings included work from Alice Tippit and Nathaniel Russell (through A\M’s Syntax Season, featured in Women Artists and in this Didactic broadsheet we published), Vito Acconci (with Christopher West), Rebekah Nolan, and Anna Martinez.
