(Ravenswood)
bench press is a risograph press based on friendship, play & collaboration. books are remnants of generative conversations & mutual exchange between artist + publisher.
focusing on collaborative projects and interactive guides + workbooks, bench press often partners with artists & friends who are new to the book as form, utilizing the risograph as tool for skill sharing and creating publications as a way to connect directly with the reader while advocating for open access to knowledge & resources.
bench press is from Chicago, IL & run by Madeleine Aguilar.
