Daniel Luedtke is an artist and community organizer working across several mediums. As a self-taught printmaker, Luedtke got his start in 2006 making handmade silk screened posters and record packaging for various music-related projects. He was awarded a Jerome Residency at Highpoint Center for Printmaking in 2008-2009, has exhibited work in solo and group shows in the U.S. and abroad, and has been published in print anthologies for Princeton Architectural Press and Chronicle Books. In 2011, Luedtke helped co-found Madame, a queer community art center in south Minneapolis. As part of his ongoing exploration of silk screen's flexibility in fine-art and installation-based applications, he will begin the MFA in Printmaking program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
