edinburgh printmakers
30 July to 17 September 2005
Practice and Process is an opportunity to see the work of some of Scotland’s leading contemporary artists as they cross over from their established artistic practice into the world of printmaking.
By displaying paintings, works on paper, sculptures and video works alongside etchings, lithographs and screenprints, the viewer is given a chance to see the artists’ work from a new perspective, gaining an insight into the development of the artist’s ideas and how they progress through contrasting artistic processes.
This exhibition is also an opportunity to see how the collaborative process between Master Printer and artist actually works. The Master Printer, by being familiar with the artist’s normal artistic practice, is able to assess and suggest the most appropriate methods by which these original works would best be transposed into print - retaining their aesthetic, intellectual and conceptual integrity.
CEL scotland is a new collaboration between Dundee Contemporary Arts, Edinburgh Printmakers, Glasgow Print Studio and Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen. CEL exists to promote the understanding and appreciation of contemporary printmaking in Scotland on a national and international level. It commissions, publishes and creates limited edition multiples with some of the best and most exciting artists currently living and working in Scotland.------------------------------------------------------------------
