The beauty of an edition is that it can be shared like a zine and distributed more easily to more people. Time is spent on designing one, then printing up and binding many. The goal was to design a book in an edition of 20 copies that could be reproduced easily. The content was open, but the books had to incorporate two lines of lietterpress printing and one of the vintage photoengravings from the CCA archive. These books are the result of that assignment and are the first letterpress printed projects made by the Bookworks students, Spring 2015.
An exhibit of site-specific works informed by Capp Street Project Archive, created by the undergraduate students in the UDIST course "Activate Archive: Capp Street Project": Star Barker, Can Caglayan, Austin Conrad, May Han, Elizabeth Hohimer, James E. Kennedy Jr, Rosa Novak, Tessa Shimizu, Brandon Treakle, Malaya Tuyay, and Jessica Young. "Activate Archive: Capp Street Project" was taught by CCA faculty Kari Marboe with archives collaboration from Capp Street Archives Curator Jennine Scarboro. The works were displayed at the Oliver Art Center, on California College of the Arts' Oakland campus, in December 2016. Photographed by James E. Kennedy Jr.
