PRINT CULTURE
The Printmaking Summer Residency Prints 2011

In the summer of 2010 RMIT Project Space and Printmaking invited seven artists - Graham Badari, Michael Florrimell, Joel Gailer, Kate James, Heather Shimmen, Andrew Sinclair and Erik Sandberg [USA] - to take part in an artist residency program. The artists were provided with 24 hour access to studios for two months over the summer, extended access to the School of Art printmaking facilities and an exhibition - Print Culture - in Project Space/ Spare Room. Artists were also provided with paper and ink and asked to create an original edition of prints.

Curated by Dr Ruth Johnstone

Artists embrace the current state of printmaking in diverse and distinctive ways. They combine old and new print technologies, engage in repetition and its variant as well as unpack the print process to include process as the content of a print. The burgeoning presence of Indigenous prints, creative collaboration between custom printer and artist, changing art and print-related hierarchies and international print portability all inform contemporary print culture. A specially commissioned print from each artist is included in the exhibition.
