Oakland-based, Filipino-American artist Jose Guinto invents personal narratives that correspond to contemporary events, often using mass-produced goods that he re-cycles, re-configures and re-positions as a comment on “mainstream and immigrant” cultural divides and identity issues. He calls himself, in an apt phrase, the “caretaker of symbols.” For his project with the Lower East Side Printshop, Guinto, an experienced printmaker, made three fragile paper sculptures from aquatints that have been cut and cunningly re-assembled, including the present facsimile of a Converse sneaker, which has a part-tree, part-boy figure modeled on a famous hybrid creature conceived by Hieronymus Bosch drawn on its side. A wanderer accompanied by a begging bowl of sorts, the character signifies the consequences of societies in collision with nature and natural forces, of order upended. The title reifies these themes, evoking Daniel Defoe’s castaway tale Robinson Crusoe and the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina in 2005.
“People brought linoleum from abandoned rolls or loosened bits from kitchen floors. We found rolls of paper here and there. A local ink company gave us cans of drying ink. We had a few old rollers. We learned to use sharp knives pointed away from our own hands and fingers and away from other people. We ranged in age from 5 to maybe 70 or more. We worked together and taught one another. Oh we were dangerous! We were PRESS!”
—Eleanor Magid, Lower East Side Printshop FounderFounded in 1968, the Lower East Side Printshop began as an open access art and community center led by Eleanor Magid in the wake of New York City’s two month-long teachers’ strike. Magid, a local parent and printmaker who had studied under Universal Limited Art Editions master printer Robert Blackburn, transcended the typical art education curriculum by showing her daughter’s classmates and neighbors the ropes of printmaking through the creation of books, stories, and illustrations on a press in her home. Once teachers reached a resolution and schools restarted, Magid kept her studio open for collaborative printmaking. The homegrown operation quickly expanded beyond Magid’s space, moving to the East Village, where the operation soon became part of the alternative spaces movement of the 1970s, offering groundbreaking 24-hour studio use nestled in the buzzing artistic and cultural hub of East 4th Street.

Expanding their space yet again, in 2005 the organization relocated from the East Village to a facility five times larger in Midtown Manhattan, and the DIY spirit that inspired the start of the Printshop continued to prosper. Over its nearly 70-year history, the Printshop has become a premier non-profit New York City printmaking studio and resource that supports contemporary artists of all career stages and artistic backgrounds. Through the Printshop’s residency programs – which have hosted the likes of Derrick Adams, Jeffrey Gibson, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Dread Scott, Kara Walker, James Siena, and Hank Willis Thomas, among others – artist’s receive support through access to facilities, time, stipends, and technical assistance.
In 2006, the Printshop was awarded Primary Organization status by the New York State Council on the Arts. This status is reserved for organizations that are, by the quality of their services and their stature, particularly vital to the cultural life of the state. Such designation is a testament to the important work of the Lower East Side Printshop, providing valuable resources that strengthen the artistic community of New York and promote the growth of the printmaking discipline.
