Check out what Junli Song @artsofsong has been up Check out what Junli Song @artsofsong has been up to at WSW!

Junli has been focused on monotype printing with watercolours onto Eastern papers to depict landscapes and beings from her imaginary world, the In-Between Cosmos. She plans to eventually combine these onto Western papers through chine collé to create a pop-up book inspired by her Zhenmushou sculptures, adding a new dimension to her installation work and allowing it to be explored in intimate, everyday spaces. Zhenmushou are traditional Chinese tomb guardians, who enter her work as supernatural spirits within her personal mythology. Her work explores the fragmentation of memory, tradition, narrative, and culture.
WSW is pleased to invite you to celebrate how arti WSW is pleased to invite you to celebrate how artists have changed America through direct action with a reading and interactive talk to celebrate the release of Lauren O’Neill-Butler’s @loneillbutler “The War of Art: A History of Artists’ Protest In America” (2025, @versobooks).

Brenda Miller, a Kingston-based artist who contributed to the book, will discuss the activist group “the Ad Hoc Women Artists’ Committee,” which she formed in 1970 with Lucy Lippard, Faith Ringgold, and Poppy Johnson. The event will also include a reading by O’Neill-Butler from the book, a Q&A, and a book signing. Learn more about the event on our website!

Join us on July 26th from 4 to 6PM in the front room. Postmark @postmarkbooksny will be onsite selling copies of the book. This event is free and open to the public, but we encourage you to reserve a spot. Link in bio.
Alex Callender @alexiscallender (Artist’s Book R Alex Callender @alexiscallender (Artist’s Book Residency Grant) has spent the past 6 weeks printing for her upcoming artist’s book “History Constructs the House that Sometimes Holds Us.” While in residency, Alex worked in our silkscreen studio and with our risograph printer to translate her drawings and archival research into printed material. She also used our Chandler and Price letterpress printer to include die cut elements to her book. Let’s take a sneak peek at production!

“History Constructs the House that Sometimes Holds Us,” is made in memory to those who experienced the evictions and community displacement of Urban Renewal’s removal and relocation process that disproportionately affected Black, Puerto Rican, and working poor neighborhoods. The book includes a collection of text, drawings, and images woven together from various records of tenant-based organizations in New Haven, CT, and New York City during the mid-century urban renewal programs.

During this period, WSW hosted many programs with feminist artists at local businesses and spaces supported by the local community, which created the foundation for our ongoing legacy.
