Journal of Artists´Books 25 | Primavera 2009
A capa do JAB25 foi desenhada por Jan Voss e impressa na Heidelberg GTO no Centro de Artes do Papel e do Livro por Brad Freeman, Clif Meador e Marnie Galloway (estudante de graduação e entusiasta de offset). Jan pediu a algumas pessoas para sujarem suas mãos com tinta acrílica marrom e manusear 14 transparências cortadas no formato do JAB. As manchas da tinta sobre essas folhas tornaram-se as chapas de impressão para a capa. Instruções de impressão de Jan (mudar a cor da tinta durante a impressão; usar degradês; colocar muita tinta; colocar pouca tinta; colocar pouca água; colocar muita água) garantiram que imagens originais e espontâneas surgissem, de modo que nenhum exemplar de JAB25 é exatamente igual a outro.
The cover of JAB25 was designed by Jan Voss and printed on the Heidelberg GTO at the Center for Book & Paper Arts by Brad Freeman, Clif Meador, and Marnie Galloway (graduate student and Offset Fellow). Jan had people coat their hands in brown acrylic paint and handle 14 tranparencies cut to imitate the shape of JAB. The traces the paint left on those sheets became the printing plates for the cover. Jan’s printing instructions (change the ink color during the run; use split fountains; run too much ink; starve the ink; starve the water; run too much water) ensured spontaneous, unique prints with no two covers of JAB25 being exactly alike.
