To the Edges: 60 years of Sydney Printmakers, Artists in Conversation

June 10, 2021 by Anthea Boesenberg 3 Comments

Artists in Conversation                         Sunday, 4 July 2021 – 2.00pm to 4.00pm

By considering the use of the printmaking media in innovative and unconventional ways, as well as co-opting new media in the development of their works, the artists of Sydney Printmakers have worked ‘to the edges’ physically and metaphorically pushing their materials, ideas and themselves to their limits.

Sydney Printmakers is the longest-running independent printmaking membership organisation in Australia. It continues to demonstrate its currency in the quality and diversity of the work its artists create, and in the collegiate way its members work to share ideas and resources, and to support each other. As a group, it is thriving – and celebrates its sixty-year milestone with this especially curated exhibition.

Here is an opportunity to hear some members of Sydney Printmakers talk about their work in conversation with Katherine Roberts, Senior Curator, Manly Art Gallery and Museum. 

Participating artists:

Karen Ball
Tina Barahanos
Susan Baran
Anthea Boesenberg
Danielle Creenaune
Angela Hayson
Roz Kean
Carmen Ky
Gary Shinfield
Wendy Stokes

Covid-19 restrictions apply

Limited numbers, RSVP online now

Ben Rak: The Masks I Wear to Pass

The Masks I Wear to Pass

Wagga Wagga Art Gallery
October 24th, 2020 – January 10th, 2021
 Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to visit my exhibition The Masks I Wear to Pass at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.  The exhibition is open to the public until January 10th, 2021.

The exhibition attempts to shed light on the ways in which people (myself included) conceal or reveal themselves in order to gain visibility, avoid marginalisation, and enjoy the privileges afforded to dominant groups. I use the print process as a metaphor for otherness, drawing parallels between art practice and social interaction.

In the catalogue essay, Hidden in Plain Sight, Jane O’Sullivan writes:

“The Masks I Wear to Pass draws on his personal knowledge of passing and includes elements of self-portraiture, but Rak is not declaring a single ‘true’ identity or attempting to show what’s under the mask. His interests are instead in those moments of uncertainty, dissonance, and self-estrangement—in the psychological experience of passing and the shadows it casts over us.”

In addition to the exhibition catalogue, a limited edition zine (Twelve degenographs and the masks they wear to pass) has been published in collaboration with Throwdown Press, and is available to purchase.
