Curtis Schreier (Ant Farm) - Think Tank silkscreen kirigami print

In the spring of 2024, we collaborated with Baltimore curator Liz Flyntz and artist Curtis Schreier on his show Swamp Alps. The exhibit featured a model of the artist's future vision for bringing elevation to Louisiana using remanded oil derricks as well as several historical drawings.

Think Tank is a piece from Curtis Schreier's notebooks that he kept for several decades including during the Ant Farm and before. This piece was originally drawn during his time working in Lawrence Halprin's studio in the early 1970s.

The piece is a work of kirigami, a variation of traditional origami that allows cutting as well as folding. It pointedly includes no instructions, allowing the holder to find their way through its construction intuitively.

This is an edition of 50 screen prints, hand-numbered and signed by the artist. Each order includes an additional over-run copy which can be be used to make the kirigami while preserving the paper edition for display.
