Type Of Work
- Visual Arts - Artwork in a Group Exhibition
Community & Context presents the work of local and national Australian artists who
have employed print practices to realise their diverse intentions. Drawn together in their
curiosity about the boundaries of the printed image, they consider the possibility of print
in an expanded field. Each artist explores the significance of print in the context of
contemporary art and design, and printmaking’s relationship to text and spatial
practices. Many of the artists address printmaking’s historical association with book
production and design, and all have a keen sense of the common visual sensibilities
and intentions that might define or draw a community of artists together.
