The intent of this dual gallery, large scale show is to encourage printmakers to explore different ways of engaging with imagery, materials, processes and technologies. The work encompasses a full spectrum of printmaking from traditional, contemporary through to the experimental, ranging across floor based, wall mounted and plinth installed works to a variety of hanging installations.
Steve Lovett is the selector for the exhibition, an artist and art education researcher whose practice is concerned with printed media operating as a physical space from which to develop critical observations. Steve set up the Interdisciplinary Print Research programme at Manukau Institute of Technology in the School of Visual Arts, and currently runs the University of Auckland Printed Media Lab. Steve has selected over 40 works to be included in the exhibition, spanning across both our East and South Galleries.
The exhibition is organised by Birkenhead-based Artist and Educator Di Smallfield, a long-standing member of The Print Council Aotearoa New Zealand. The Print Council is a national, non-profit organisation supporting and promoting printmaking across all regions of New Zealand. With a current membership of over 300 artists it’s an inclusive organisation that embraces a wide range of ages and ethnicities. Their members’ work encompasses myriad modes of printmaking as evidenced in the scope of work presented, and accompanying catalogue.
