Silk Screen Printing with Air Ink

An artistic screen printing project, which includes the installation of a temporary screen printing workshop. The aim of the project is to use classical screen printing in combination with contemporary content for a project in public space. Textual as well as photographic models, which above all raise socio-cultural questions about social contexts and critically question them, will be exposed on screens and printed directly in public space. Overprints of poster surfaces, wall or glass surfaces, as well as specially produced canvases, wooden surfaces, etc., can be used. This kind of direct reference to the found underground transforms every public surface into an artistic starting point, inviting critical and aesthetic reflection.

We collaborate with Delhi based Graviky Labs for this workshop. Graviky Labs developed an air-ink which is produced out of collected air-polluting carbon particels which are filtered out of contamined air in Bangalore, Delhi aso. Making and using this ink for the prints in public space is a perfect tool of reflecting our circle of resources and circle of memes – and what we could do concerning art in public space.
