This is Punchclock


printing machinePunchclock is a trans-disciplinary democratic organization of cultural workers, political activists and trades people operating out of and around two hives functioning as collective metal and screen printing studios. Our mandates are economic sustainability and artistic direct action.

Beneath the Punchclock umbrella are two worker-owned business cooperatives as well as an ever-morphing network of information architects, visual artists and musicians. We produce aesthetically defiant graphic design, video, poster, sculpture, performance, installation, textile and street art. Our efforts challenge conventional, isolating and competitive models of professional art careers; we exist not for wealthy collectors or insular art patronage, but as an essential element to a healthy and dynamic community.

Currently fourteen people share tenancy of the two studios that shift chameleon-like between conceptual laboratory, underground venue, political meeting space, and production plant. As such we provide infrastructure; access to tools, skills, and training for participants in radical political and cultural movements.
