In s3e43, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Craig Zammiello, an artist and collaborative printer with over 40 years of experience in all areas of printmaking. He worked for 25 years at Universal Limited Art Editions, where he collaborated with numerous artists, including Jasper Johns, Elizabeth Murray, James Rosenquist, Kiki Smith, and Robert Rauschenberg. Currently, he is a collaborative printer at Two Palms working with Mel Bochner, Ellen Gallagher, Chris Offili, Elizabeth Peyton, and Dana Schutz. He is author of a studio manual on photogravure, as well as Conversations from the Print Studio published by Yale University Press.
Ann and Craig talk about Woodburytypes, working with Robert Rauschenberg at ULAE, and helping Matthew Barney grow copper nodules on a Woodburytype and then gold plating them. They talk about Craig’s transition to Two Palms and how that studio works outside of the traditional print studio model. Find out about a lifelong interest of Craig’s that has resulted in his collection being acquired by the American Museum of Natural History (no, it’s not prints), and what band would he most like to join on tour.
Zammiello received an MFA from The State University of New York, Stony Brook in 1995. He is currently Adjunct Faculty at the School of the Arts at Columbia University. Zammiello has taught workshops and classes at New York University, Yale University, The Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and the Flemish Center for the Graphic Arts in Belgium.
