Description
The exhibition, Tear Up the Rule Books, features a selection of works that highlight contemporary printmaking’s most innovative collaborations. As recent as 50 years ago, printmaking was considered a poor relation to painting and sculpture, often misunderstood as merely a reproduction of an artist’s paintings. So, what are prints? How were prints traditionally made? What are the innovations? Why are prints now considered original works of art?
This exhibition aims to answer all these questions and more. By harnessing new technologies and discarding old rules, artists and printers have pushed the boundaries of various print processes. Tear Up the Rule Books’ presentation of exemplary collaborations of radical experimentation by both pivotal artists and print workshops will illustrate how these visionary partnerships have shaped contemporary printmaking. These innovations have irreversibly changed and permeated our perceptions of the print’s value and its expansive possibilities as an art form.
