ABOUT PRICES NEWS CONTACT
Founded in 2006 by Doug Bennett and Rob Swainston, S11 Press / Prints of Darkness is a fine art printmaking workshop located in Brooklyn, NY . Before starting their own studio, the two have logged more than ten years of professional collaborative printmaking experience in such renowned workshops as ULAE, Two Palms Press, The Lower East Side Printshop, and the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies at Columbia University . During this time, they have worked directly on print projects by several artists of international acclaim.
At S11 / PoD, Bennett and Swainston have created an environment for continuing the experimentation in print media that has proven to be so integral to the importance and success of many of the best print projects. While maintaining a deep respect for the traditions of printmaking, the two are insistent that there be no pre-determined boundaries as to what defines a print. It is this attitude that provides a relaxed and enthusiastic atmosphere for artists that have made prints for years as well as those who are incorporating print media into their practice for the first time.
S11 / PoD is a contract printing studio capable of producing projects in lithography (both stone and plate,) intaglio, relief, and serigraphy. Etching and litho presses are available to print images up to 24 x 36 inches, and relief blocks as well as silk screens are available in varying sizes. Specialized services are offered on a case by case basis, and there is equipment available for various collage techniques. Regardless of technique, S11 / PoD ensures a commitment of the highest level of professionalism to place the artist at ease and encourage the production of innovative work.
Publishers and galleries interested in learning more about sponsoring a project are encouraged to visit the studio, conveniently located near the L and J/M/Z trains, just south of the Williamsburg Bridge on Kent Avenue at South 11th Street . Click HERE for a map and directions.
