The radical changes within the field of printmaking the last 20 years has totally changed the approach towards the media. Printmaking is now an art form that consists of sculpture, performance, clothes, installation, the commercial aspect, cyberspace, artist books, multiples, ready-mades, newspapers etc. The result is a cross pollination which in its turn points to the total reflection of todays contemporary art.
The aim with this publication is to emphasize / bring forward / implement and discuss the situation of printmaking today, from its tradition, the theoretical aspects, the historical, and what is and can happen, globally, in the future. It is an examination of the expanded field, within the media (including the book).
The Publication, Printmaking in the Expanded Field, discusses the following six topics, listed below:
Dissemination of knowledge
Visual delight and collapsing strategies
