‘The Expanded Field of Print’

Print Council Aotearoa New Zealand selected member exhibition.

Venue: North Art, Auckland

Dates: 20 August to 14 September 2024

Opening: Saturday 17 August 2024, 1pm - 3pm with floor talk from the selector.

A selected exhibition open to all PCANZ members. A great opportunity to expand your ideas of print.

This exhibition showcases a contemporary approach to exploring different ways of engaging with imagery, materials, processes and technologies. It is envisaged that works selected will be diverse, ranging from floor-based, wall mounted and plinth, to a variety of hanging installations.

"The traditional boundaries of printed art are themselves not as clear as they were. In the popular imagination, the quintessential print might be a delicate black and white etching, but there is actually no such thing as the quintessential print. Artists are continually redefining parameters " (Deborah Wye, p.7 ‘Thinking Print’, 1996).

The exhibition will consist of approximately 40-50 selected works.

Selector: Steve Lovett
