Artist Jonas Wood selected Creative Growth as the community partner for a collaboration with Artspace to produce a limited-edition print, entitled Bball Studio (2019), which comes inside a portfolio, complete with a silkscreened tote bag, and a hardcover copy of his monograph published by Phaidon.
From Artspace:
Jonas Wood's Bball Studio (2019) depicts the studio that Wood rented from Ed Ruscha from 2007 to 2017. "Everything kind of happened in that space", Wood recounts in an exclusive interview with Artspace. The etching recreates a preparatory tracing that Wood says was the impetus for the painting featured on the cover of Phaidon's brand new monograph, Jonas Wood.
The etching, produced in-house by Jonas Wood's studio, is signed and numbered to 200, and comes with a hardcover copy of Phaidon's Jonas Wood, inside a silkscreened limited-edition tote bag. "It wraps up all of these things: Nostalgia for this old studio, this great painting that we used for the cover, and the original drawing changed back into a print—eight years later—to raise money for charity," says Wood. Proceeds benefit Creative Growth, an Oakland-based non-profit that serves artists with developmental, intellectual, and physical disabilities.
