’Graphics over Borders’
The Title ’Graphics over Borders’ refer
both to the fact that the exhibition has been created on the
basis of collaboration across international borders and that
the exhibition is not limited to represent selected graphic
techniques and that the art of printmaking per se is a
social artform in that it is multipliable and therefore is
not limited in its possibility for outreach, as monotype and
unique works are.
At this exhibition there will be rich
opportunities to experience graphics both as a traditional
and as a modern art form and to experience results of the
enriching cultural and creative
cooperation across Europe including the previous eastern
block countries with their tradition for a high level of
printmaking both technically and artistically.
By the printing press that has been
installed in the exhibition hall it will be possible to see
the process by which the motifs on the plates are
transferred to the printing paper. And the videos showed
from the workshop that take place simultaneously with this
exhibition, at the States Artisan Workshops at Gl. Dok, will
give an insight into the working process where the graphic
art is created.
The Exhibition show the high quality and
great range in the art of printmaking in Europe today,
embracing all graphic techniques from graver, dry point,
etching, lithography and woodcut to photogravure and digital
work.
