Nashville’s print community traces its roots back to the ink-stained early days of Music City’s publishing empire-building. The local revival in contemporary letterpress printing has served as a gateway that’s helped create an audience for contemporary art in Nashville. Hatch Show Print is the wellspring of that revival, and its Haley Gallery put printing as contemporary art on full display in May. Chris Chandler’s Frequency & Distortion deconstructed modular typography, utilizing woodcut fonts to create elegant and colorful modernist-inspired designs.
