Amos Kennedy is an American printmaker, book artist, and papermaker. This exhibit: Stuff Found in the Back of the Flat File is a retrospective on his over thirty years of work in printmaking. Kennedy creates typographic posters printed on chipboard with handset metal and wood type. His posters display messages and text in bold colors and through his use of overprinting (a method of layering successive prints) no two are the same.
This exhibit is in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Libary in celebration of the second annual Wayzgoose Festival. An opening reception and artist talk will take place on Friday, October 11.
Traditionally, a wayzgoose was an annual celebration put on by a master printer for his workmen. Nowadays, it’s a festival that celebrates the art and practice of printing by hand. The 2019 Ann Arbor Wayzgoose & Printing Festival will feature some of the most exciting artists working in the field of printing today.
