About the Broadside

This broadside was designed and produced by Center for Book Arts 2020-2021 Book Artist-in-Residence Oswaldo García for CBA's 25th Anniversary Chapbook Competition Runner-Up Dujie Tahat in 2021. CBA's Annual Chapbook Competition is an open call for poets to submit manuscripts. Submissions are reviewed blindly by a Guest Judge who selects one winner and two runners-up. As part of the awards package, CBA publishes respective limited-edition chapbooks for the Guest Judge and Competition Winner as well as respective limited-edition broadsides for the runners-up. Tahat was selected as Runner-Up for the 2021 Competition by Guest Judge Simone White. García was inspired by the title of Tahat's poem, In Praise of Impending Balikbayan: Irreversible Ecological Disaster, to activate his broadside design by making it possible for people to transform the flat sheet into a three-dimensional balikbayan box. Balikbayan boxes are commonly used by Filipino nationals living abroad to send support to their family and friends at home tax & duty-free. It is estimated that over 400,000 balikbayan boxes are shipped every month. In addition to García's broadside for Tahat, CBA published a limited-edition chapbook for the Winner of the 2021 Competition, Bianca Rae Messinger, that was designed and produced by artist Yuchen Chang. CBA also published a limited-edition chapbook for White that was designed and produced by another 2020-2021 Book Artist-in-Residence Alva Mooses. And finally, the other 2021 Competition Runner-Up, Benjamin Aleshire, had his poem published as a limited-edition broadside designed and produced by CBA Administrative Assistant Allison Carter Beaulé.

Colophon

This broadside was designed and printed in polymer plates at the Center for Book Arts, New York by Oswaldo García in honor of the poet’s reading on December 9th, 2021. The edition is 100.

It’s really pretty decent except for one thing.
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel
I bought two of these for my basement and they do look great. They were easy to assemble and I’m happy with them. The problem is that the stitching on the fabric panels are almost the size of a machine basting stitch (which for non sewers means large temporary stitches). Because the panels are tight by design, the stitches had already started to come undone before I could finish assembling everything. Fortunately I can sew and I reinforced all the panels. I had to take the first ones back off the poles to do them but I did the second set before assembling. It’s really not a bad product for the money. It’s quality fabric and the design itself looks great. The stitching looks fine but it’s just not substantial enough for the purpose it is supposed to serve. I can’t imagine why it be sewn so insufficiently. I was able to resolve my issue because I can sew. I wasn’t planning on sewing nor did I really have the time. I could have made it myself but I didn’t want to and that is why I purchased this. I ended up using valuable time. The really unfortunate thing is, I have no other complaints. This is a manufacturing problem.

Inexpensive walls.

We had a hot request for a workstation in the warehouse with some privacy. These have worked great. Easy to assemble. They are lightweight and stable. This was an inexpensive solution that looks professional. Our client loved it.

Dont wait! Assemble right away! Just in case you need to return it.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Ok, I like the idea of this but the assembly is frustrating. One side lined up perfectly with the holes however, the small bars that connect the screen to base is not lining up. I think it's do the fabric the screen or divider is made of. It's not stretchy. I brought this months ago and just opened it today. I'm upset and don't even think returning it is possible. If the material was a bit longer or stretchy to give a little room to work with this divider would be great. However, I'm not sure what I can use it for since I'm unable to attach it to the bottom. Beware! Don't wait like me. Tip for the manufacturer. Next time invest in Velcro dividers so the fabric can be adjusted with ease. Literally if I take the screen off the frame aligns perfectly. However, it defeats its purpose of privacy. I might buy some material myself and create a more flexible divider. Or I'll buy Velcro myself and attach to the bottom. I don't know yet.

Not worth it!
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Black
These are the terrible. They keep falling down. The bottom part doesn't stay tight so it keeps turning making it in possible to stay standing. Its the absolute worst!
