Places are the primary organizational unit of An Atlas of Modern Risography, a central project within stencil.wiki. Originally conceived as a global census of stencil duplicator users, the Atlas has evolved into a broader resource for documenting locations connected to stencil-based printing.
History
The project began in 2013 as An Atlas of Modern Risography and was integrated into the larger stencil.wiki platform in 2014. In 2024, the Atlas migrated to MediaWiki, enabling enhanced functionality and organization.
Place Types
Before its migration to MediaWiki, all locations within the Atlas were categorized as "Studios." The transition to MediaWiki introduced a more expansive classification system, allowing for the following place types.
Note: Each place is categorized based on its primary function and may be assigned one or two types accordingly. Secondary activities, such as hosting workshops, exhibitions, or pop-up shops, do not determine a place's classification.
Studio
A creative workspace equipped with duplicator printing tools, allowing artists or groups to use the equipment for personal or collaborative projects.
- Example: A shared or private artist studio offering access to stencil printing machines for members.
Print shop
A business or service specializing in duplicator printing, offering affordable printing for zines, posters, or small-run projects for artists and organizations.
- Example: A local printer where customers can submit designs to be printed in bulk.
Publisher
An independent press that curates and distributes small-batch publications like zines, books, and posters, typically with a focus on experimental or independent creators.
- Example: An indie press producing art books and limited-edition zines
Store
A physical or online shop that sells printed goods (e.g., art prints, zines, postcards) and possibly tools or supplies related to stencil duplicator printing.
- Example: A book store specializing in artist-made publications.
Learning center
A university, art school, or community center that offers workshops or classes teaching stencil duplicator printing techniques and design fundamentals.
- Example: A non-profit art school hosting monthly printmaking courses.
Venue
A gallery, pop-up space, or community center hosting events, exhibitions, or print fairs showcasing duplicator-printed works or fostering community connections.
- Example: the regular host of annual Art Book Fair, such as Bergen Kunsthall.
Collective
A group of artists or printmakers sharing resources and a creative vision, often working collaboratively in a shared studio to create and promote printed works.
- Example: An artist collective producing collaborative zines and prints.
Workshop hub/Maker space
A community-driven space providing open access to duplicator printing equipment, often alongside other tools, with options for short-term use or memberships.
- Example: A maker space offering pay-per-use access to print equipment and hosting open studio nights.
