The Control Print Lab will feature three independent one-day projects and three 24-hour beehive events in which students and faculty will transform Aronson Gallery into a workspace / experimental hub / process studio / exhibition space using analog and digital technologies for printing. These projects explore in practice the question set out by the Control/Print exhibition: What is the future of ink on paper?, through further interrogations of time, memory, language, narrative, and the limits and possibilities of paper to make things and make meaning. Organized by Shana Agid.
