Short Bio

ERIC LUNDE lives in Minneapolis MN USA. With many years of engagement in the arts, he has worked in audio art, performance, spoken word. He has numerous audio releases to his name. He also self-publishes poetry, theory, and graphic work. When he is not writing or going to his job, he spends his time printing art and constructing "books" in his basement. He works on his own line of block ink printed works under the imprint Kanshiketsu!

Statement

I primarily work in ink block printing, lino, wood and rubber. I have set up my own letterpress with wood type. Lately I've been carving relief into the rubber of brayer rollers and then rolling them on paper and other surfaces. The process allows me to roll out endless patterns.

I work with letters. I write them. print them, invent them. if they become words i work with them and if letters become words they quite often become books or like books. Tines is a boxed set of handmade book, drawings, distressed plastic forks and polaroids. it tries to examine multi-perspectives on the same or seemingly similar object (form). emptiness of emptiness, while not a book, per se, is a book form that explores the idea of emptiness and its "reduplication."

. Some say one should create by how one speaks or lives or something like that, but I’m not so sure I can contour my work for any group or any individual to write is to attend to the accidents as the present themselves, the accidents of line and mark. because art, like language, is a stutter.

. I live homogenously but think and behave erratically. I am not an especially emotional artist and strive to relegate emotion to the sideline. To me life is a long stutter with occasional beneficial accidents. There are moments of clarity and then there’s interference.
