Signal-Return

The gallery at Signal-Return presents an upcoming exhibition by Chris Fritton Chris Fritton in collaboration with Chris Chandler Chris Chandler

The large-scale, modular woodblock prints construct and deconstruct basic shapes using color, creating new, unexpected geometries. The texture & tone of each piece is determined by the process itself, which involves multiple layers of overprinting & reorientation, resulting in work where the structure can be reproduced formally, but the content is never identical.

Chris Fritton is a poet, printer, and fine artist based in Buffalo, NY, who spent over a decade visiting letterpress shops across North America with his traveling project called “The Itinerant Printer.” During that time he covered hundreds of thousands of miles, made tens of thousands of prints on the road, and worked with hundreds of artists & printers.

Fritton met and began collaborating with Chandler in 2018. Since that time, they’ve produced a number of projects together, including series of prints, street art, and wheat paste murals. This selection is a cross-section of that body of work.

Chris Chandler is a printer and artist who spent over 30 years as a tour manager and sound engineer for numerous bands. He now resides in Portland, OR, where he helms Neu Haus Press and produces letterpress art, gig posters, and ephemera.

This show is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided and work will be for sale.

Opening:
JULY 10th, 2026, 5-8pm
Signal-Return, 9301 Kercheval Ave, Detroit, MI
