1028 Scott St, Covington
ROMAN NVMERALS is a zine publishing cooperative founded in 2015 by Michael Vahrenwald and David La Spina in New York City. The project was started in response to the high cost for artists to publish their work with established imprints, often with no remuneration. Over the past decade the imprint has published over seventy-five titles in short-runs, using exclusively local materials and presses. The imprint maintains a democratic credo that all artists have at least one numeral within their work.
This exhibit of posters and a back catalog library of the imprint celebrates the decade of zines and books, publishing unseen work by dozens of artists.
The exhibition includes new posters by Maggie Seinfeld, Editha Mesina, Dave Mandl, Michael Bach, Michael Wilson, Lisa Kereszi, Jordanna Kalman, Dylan Knapp, David La Spina, Ben Donaldson, Ottilie Leete, Jasmine Clarke and Ethan Barrett—all of whom have new or forthcoming titles on the imprint.
The exhibition will also feature a library of seventy-five titles and posters from the ROMAN NVMERALS archive by Robert Lyons, Jessica Tang, Mari Kon, Ted Partin, Linda Gallagher, John Lehr, Tanya Marcuse, Orianna Riley, Ann Dally, Katherine Wolkoff, Marion Belanger, Kristine Potter, Darin Mickey, Matthew Monteith, Jonno Rattman, D.W. Fitzpatrick, Michael Vahrenwald, Bradley Peters, Kate Greene, James Welling, Dan Larkin, Josee Schryer, Sanne Vils Axelsen, Joel Fisher, Daniel Reuter, Christine Collins, Anna Shteynshleyger, David Rothenberg, Yael Eban, Irina Rozovsky, Benjamin Ogilvy, Emily Cappa, Ben Stechschulte, Stephen Hilger, Barney Kulok, Michael Turek, Kyle Brooks, George Etheredge, Ann Daly, Stephen Shore, David La Spina, Isabella Convertino, Anastasia Samoylova, Ezra Stoller, Elizabeth Bick, Laura Letinsky, Daniel Terna, Matthew Connors, Gus Powell, Erica Stoller, Ethan Barrett, Stephen Brahms, Adam Bartos, Lisa Kereszi, Ben Donaldson, Ottilie Leete, Stephen Joyce and Maggie Seinfeld.
Sales of posters from the exhibition will benefit the production of new titles by artists in need of financial support. ROMAN NVMERALS is fiscally sponsored by Photo-Based Art, a 501(3)(c).
