Invitation for the exhibition Committed to Print (150kb) which came about as a part of the Centre for Fine Print Research AHRC grant at London Print Studio.
For the fine artist working within the field of print, wide format digital printing potentially offers exciting new vistas for the production of printed artwork. However, although some common ground exists between the predominantly industry led function of this technology and the working practices of the printmaker, there has been very little transfer of information regarding the question of how some of the quality and individuality traditionally associated with the artists print may also be integrated into this new form of output.
This is the third in the series of exhibitions connected with the research. The first in June 07 at the Royal West of England Academy and the second at Northern Print Studios in Newcastle in Sept 08.
After the LPS show the exhibition will be shown in Oslo in August 09.
