Vladimir Nahitchevansky ’15 Profiled by Albany Times-Union
Bard alumnus Vladimir Nahitchevansky ’15 was featured in the Albany Times-Union which covered his small press, 1080 Press, based in Kingston. Working closely with individual artists, Nahitchevansky has printed works by Richard Hell, Fred Moten, and Bernadette Mayer as well as several Bard alumni/ae. His printings focus on adding human touches, which he describes as “an object rife with error and chance and happy coincidences and mistakes. When you open them, you feel like there was a deep sense of thinking behind each component.”
Nahitchevansky established 1080 Press in 2022 after many years of making printed matter on his own. When he graduated from Bard’s Written Arts program, he worked at small presses throughout New York. He eventually started the print house from his apartment and began mailing out physical, printed newsletters to patrons. He sees this process as what small presses are truly about: “You use the space that you have, you start out printing your friends, then you expand out of that space.”
