Books & Zines & Q & A with Erik Mace
Books & Zines & Q & A with Erik Mace
Wednesday, August 21st, 2024 at 7 pm EDT via Zoom
Are you working on a photobook or zine and have a burning question you’d like answered? Join Erik Mace for a community Q&A on photobooks, where he’ll lead a discussion on all things book-related. Together, we’ll discuss photobook ideation, design, or production, combining the best of a Q&A with a community-driven skillshare. Questions can center around sequencing, editing, typography, layout, post-production, zine making, binding, etc. You ask it, and Erik will bring some answers, backed by the generosity and collective skills of the Kinship community.
After the Q&A, we will be offering a book-making prompt and work can be shared on Kinship Circle.
Participants who wish to submit a question are encouraged to submit it to a simple Google Form in advance of the skillshare by August 20, 12PM EDT.
Erik Mace is a visual artist who uses photography, graphic design, and book arts as his tools of inquiry. As an experimental visual thinker, he is deeply curious about the power of photography and adjacent mediums and how to take advantage of their limitations. Erik’s work is connected by a sense of restlessness where he seeks out messy processes, delighting in how visual and language-based tools can be expressly matched to subject matter, causing a body of work to rise from the chaos.
Erik received his BFA in Visual Communications from Washington University in St. Louis and is an alumnus of the Contemporary Photography program at the ICP in New York. He currently holds a leadership position with the Kinship Photography Collective, leading workshops on photography, sequencing, and bookmaking. In 2023, he launched Ramble Editions with Kristen Welles Bartley, as a collaborative vision for photobook publishing. In 2024, Erik was named the Photography Artist in Residence at The Bascom in Highlands, NC.
