Mohawk Show Sponsored by American Printing

A blank sheet of paper is an invitation to create. It asks us to sketch, compose, write, draw, and think. For the artist or writer, plunging into the snowy void of an empty page is a leap of faith mixed with terror and anticipation. Endless possibilities are buried in the pale depths and the creamy shallows of a flat, unprinted sheet. What will be found there? What stories will unfurl as paper is inked, cut, folded, and stitched? The work shown in this exhibition resulted from the hard work of hundreds of designers, art directors, photographers, illustrators, copy writers, production managers, clients, and printers who thought hard about how to fill blank sheets of paper with rich, purposeful content.

For ten years, The Mohawk Show has honored work produced on Mohawk paper that is outstanding in design and production. The entries represent a genuine cross-section of today’s design and printing industry. Owing to the quality of the paper and Mohawk’s role as a design leader, the competition draws outstanding entries from across the United States and the world. Judges Alice Chung, William Drenttel, and Jessica Helfand and competition chair Ellen Lupton studied hundreds of pieces, from posters and annual reports to museum catalogs and real estate prospectuses, to choose 5 winners and 20 finalists. The work selected represents the design industry’s highest level of creative thinking and physical production.
