Connections & Communication Postcard - Andy Rubio
  • Connections & Communication Postcard - Andy Rubio

    This postcard by August Klintberg was created as part of our inaugural Student-Led Initiative, entitled Connection & Communication Postcard Project

     

    ANDY RUBIO
    Andy Rubio is a queer printmaker living in Mohkinstsis, Northern Turtle Island. They are currently working on a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Alberta University of the Arts, majoring in Print Media, and working in the Illingworth Kerr Gallery as a Gallery Attendant. Their visual art practice strives to encompass queerness and terms of visibility. The uniformity, systemization, repetition, and rhythm in the printing process keeps them coming back for more.

    • About this Postcard Project

      This project features AUArts student work along side the work of faculty and staff in a set of letterpress printed postcards under the theme of connection and communication, with the intention of building community during the pandemic.

      4 student designs and 4 faculty/staff designs were selected to produce a total of 1000 letterpress printed postcards (125 of each design) using A/P's Vandercook SP15 Proofing Press.

      This inaugural Student-Led Initiative was developed and coordinated by Sam Rollo together and James Boychuk-Hunter in association with Galerie Gaulin.  Grant funding to support artist fees and materials was generously provided by the Student's Association (AUART-SA).

      Each postcard is available for sale to generated funding toward future Student-Led Initiatives between AUArts and A/P to pay for artist fees and materials. 100% of proceeds from postcard purchases will go toward this purpose.
