Second is “Pull the Devil’s Tail” presented by the Ugly Art Room
A group show of prints showing in a church basement which houses a
vintage proofing press, you’ll be able to print your own print!
Opening Reception: 6-8pm, Saturday, June 18, 2011
Location: Greenpoint Reformed Church, 138 Milton St, Brooklyn NY
To “pull the Devil’s tail” refers to the compact between Faust and the
devil – “Faust having taken to Paris – Gutenberg’s first bible to sell
were scrutinized by the Church authorities. Since all the pages of
each book matched – it was considered the work of the Devil. Faust was
run out of town nearly escaping with his life.”
Printing, which takes two people – a puller and a beater (who applies
ink to the type) – requires pulling the devil’s tail, the handle which
lowers the platen onto the press board.
Guests at the opening will take a turn to pull the Devil’s tail on the
antique cast-iron hand press and take home an original Jesus Head
