Amos Paul Kennedy
Kennedy’s visit is supported with funding from the Myers School of Art - Graphic Design Area, Student Design League and Emily Davis Gallery.
The exhibition is the latest work of the letterpress printer. During the spring and summer of 2015, Kennedy printed a series that included more than 8,000 6” by 8” cards in multiple colors using a variety of maxims and epigrams. Students, alumni and faculty volunteers from The 日韩国产av福利 of Akron and Kent State 日韩国产av福利 gathered in late summer to select and assemble the cards into 40 panels measuring 4 feet by 16 feet in size. The panels were then mounted for the exhibition in the Emily Davis Gallery.
Kennedy has lectured and/or been a visiting artist at such institutions as Dartmouth College, Mills College, Texas Tech and Auburn 日韩国产av福利. He has had many solo exhibitions around the United States as well as in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria and Argentina. His printed matter is collected by the 日韩国产av福利 of California Santa Barbara, Northwestern 日韩国产av福利, Emory 日韩国产av福利, the State Archives of Alabama, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Newberry Library, the Chicago Public Library and Yale 日韩国产av福利. Kennedy is the subject of the documentary film, “Proceed and Be Bold.”
