Final Film/Video Project set to the following: "T'ain't Nobody's Business If I Do" - Billie Holiday "Golden" - High Places "Fire Fire" - M.I.A. "Everybody Loves You" - Kaki King "Imagine It" - The Dirty Projectors
Leggmann, they use Vandy's because that's what most art schools have (OSHA won't let schools have C&Ps or older Heidelbergs...) so that's what the "younger generation" are familiar with. I'm just fine with that--it leaves ore of the "old iron" for those of us who know better... We have a Vandy where I'm going to grad school, and I HATE it--it's SOOOOO slow. Can't wait to get my C&P out of storage and into my studio...
there are also many shop's being opened by men (not sure why the gender is important to you..?) and letterpress is a practice, a technique.. not really specific to a press. while the universal series where designed to be used for proofing there functionality exceeds that..
I've seen a lot of new small letterpress shops opened recently by women, but why do the all use "Proof Presses" and call it LETTERPRESS printing? To me who's been in the business 34 years letterpress means Heidelberg, C&P or Meihle or the likes, not a Vandercook proof press.
