Big Fag Press prints MAPPING SYDNEY
We had an exciting week at BFP as we printed up some wonderful maps for an exhibition at UTS. The show is called Mapping Sydney. We printed maps by Jane Shadbolt, Kate Sweetapple, and Naomi Stead+Katrina Schlunke+Trina Day – all on nice archival paper – and we were delighted with the results.
Here’s some more info on the show.
The above video (thanks Jessie!) shows Lucas and Kate printing Jane’s amazing experiential map of the inner-west. It’s a two colour job with built areas (and green parks) completely chock-filled with text (18000 words on one sheet of paper!) and roads blank.
Here’s another shot of Jane’s map:
Kate’s map is a wonderful poetic (and odd) geo-locating of all the folks in Sydney who have bird-related surnames. She got her info from the white pages. Here’s an image of her map:
More photos here of this print run… More to come: images of Naomi+Katrina+Trina’s work…
ps – here’s an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about the project…
