Andrzej Zieliński: QUEUE OPS

Andrzej Zieliński’s QUEUE OPS part I continues in the Bureau window. The title refers to how printers operate. They queue up the print jobs that get jammed or don’t print and then when you return later its printed several dozen pages of some garbage you didn’t really need anyway. Ask Chris Carmody about this kind of thing, he works in a public library, a big part of his job is dealing with printer dramas. Information technology sucks. Long live painting (and printmaking).

Stay tuned for QUEUE OPS part II.

Prints by Zieliński produced at Megalo Print Studio, Canberra, and the Lawrence Lithography Workshop, Kansas USA, are available now at the Bureau.

Stay warm art fans. Love from the Civic Art Bureaucats x
