Paul John (he/him) is an artist, community organizer, photographer, and educator. His work is to connect people and create community via resource sharing, bookmaking, hosting events, and institution building. Paul cofounded Endless Editions and the Brooklyn Art Book Fair. Both organizations focus on creating free or low-risk opportunities in independent publishing and bookmaking. Paul John is currently the Head of Community at NEW INC. Prior to working at NEW INC, he developed the risograph printing program at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, was the coordinator of printing and publishing at the Jan van Eyck Academie, and taught risograph printing at the School of Visual Arts. Paul launched his latest publishing practice, Ijsmaaker, in 2024. Ijsmaaker is a collaborative ice cream making project operated under the guise of an artist residency titled the Breakfast Residency. Artists are invited to eat pancakes, have conversation, and create an ice cream flavor based on their work or their upcoming exhibition. His future ambitions are to continue to foster noncompetitive spaces for communities to flourish via ice cream making and hosting the Breakfast Residency.
