In the Fall of 2025 the Madigan Gallery at CSUB will inaugurate 99 EDITIONS + PRESS with a series of workshops, lectures and open houses focusing on artists and publishing houses who use the Risograph machine in their production: Jun Ha and David Bow from Riso Studio Arts; artist Frankie Gutierrez and publishing house Special Effects. The program will introduce this low cost, analogue system that has become the center of a large and growing movement in small press and independent artistic production.
Artists will be invited for periods of 3-4 weeks to work with students, focusing on a specific aspect of RISO printing; analogue experimentation; working with digital images; posters, illustrations and artist books. Throughout the semester the gallery will be a combination studio, library of publishers works and exhibition space for works produced during the workshops. At the conclusion of each artist residency the Madigan Gallery/ 99 will host an open house for the public.
