Abstract

Contemporary printmaking is permeated by paradox, whereby it simultaneously relies upon and collapses tradition. There is an inherent tension between the impetus of maintaining and acknowledging print’s technical specificity and process-driven nature, and the allure to push, pull and stretch its boundaries. Curated by More Than Reproduction, this group exhibition explores the materiality of contemporary print-practice, departing from convention to present new ways of working with and understanding the potential of an impervious, yet increasingly malleable medium. With printmaking existing within the interstitial depths of the past and the seductive surface of the present, this exhibition aims to navigate the shift towards print hybridity; often welcoming the incursions of other mediums, utilising unorthodox substrates, and engaging in dimensionality within an expanded field.
