Portable Printmaking Lab
For one day only, at the exhibitions’ opening receptions, we’ll be host to Peter Foucault’s Portable Printmaking Lab (PPL).In 2017 Foucault created PPL, a teardrop trailer that can travel throughout the West Coast and roll out into an interactive pop-up printmaking station. For this current iteration Foucault will be collaborating with NIAD artists to create a series of free custom posters.
Peter Foucault creates works on paper, videos, performances and installations that are fueled by his love of drawing and mark making. His work is concept driven, and often utilizes objects that reference printmaking and multiplicities. In addition to his own practice, Foucault is the Co-Founder of the Mobile Arts Platform (MAP), a Bay Area based artmaking and curatorial team that creates interactive “pop-up” mobile exhibitions and performances that directly engage the public.
Foucault has participated in numerous exhibitions nationwide and his work has been included in group shows at the Getty Museum and Getty Villa, Oakland Museum of California, Torrance Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Marine Contemporary, Smithsonian Institutes’ Freer and Sackler Gallery, Kit Schulte Contemporary (Berlin, Germany), The University of Salford (Manchester, England), and The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art.
