by Leave a Comment

Surveying the breadth and depth of contemporary print-practice, Edition Five marks More Than Reproduction (MTR)’s fifth anniversary as an artist-run initiative, aligning with International Women’s Day. Demonstrating the malleability of printmaking in both focused and cross-disciplinary practices, the exhibition features recent work by artists from MTR’s monthly artist profile program. Underpinned by parallels and polarities, experimentation is at the nucleus of the exhibition, with artists navigating diverse print methodologies and outputs. In this exhibition, printmaking exists within the depths of the past and the surface of the present; where the reproducible and unique converge and co-exist.

Artists: Danielle Creenaune, Saskia Haalebos, Angela Hayson, Jacky Jacqueline, Isabella Kennedy, Emilee Robinson, Jenny Robinson, Katika Schultz, Brigitta Summers, and Maria Thaddea.

by Leave a Comment

With Jenny Robinson

Sunday 4th -Thursday 8th February 2024. Cost: AUD $1,350

See Terms and Conditions below.

This workshop focuses on a completely non-toxic, low-cost, low-tech approach to making your own Drypoint plates. You will learn the method developed by Jenny Robinson that will enable you to create intricate images that closely emulate traditional etching in a fraction of the time and without the use of expensive, toxic materials, such as acids and rosins.

Through a series of detailed demonstrations, you will learn how to make your own drypoint plates, explore mark making techniques using a wide range of tools and textures, and develop wiping techniques to create tone and atmosphere. You will be given two cardboard plates to work on to make one larger image which we will then print on the large press.

This workshop is limited to 5 participants to ensure that all artists get the most intensive experience from this masterclass, with time and space to develop a small varied edition of large drypoint prints.

CBD Gallery: Selected, curated by Andrew Totman

Anne Starling, Shangri La, Linocut, 2018

Selected-a curated Photography & Printmaking exhibition

CBD Gallery
72 Erskine Street Sydney

1st Feb -3rd March 2024

Selected is an opportunity to see into the practice of 22 contemporary artist exploring and thriving in using the medias of Printmaking and Photography across 52 images on display.

Curated by Andy Totman, the show features Sydney Printmakers members Anthea Boesenberg, Rafael Butron, Ben Rak, Jenny Robinson, Mark Rowden, Gary Shinfield, and Anne Starling.

Photography and printmaking are similar in that they both have the capability to reproduce an image multiple times with very little variation in the resulting print. However, photography came about through the desire to create exact visual replicas of forms and scenes without manual intervention, while printmaking originally aided the production of photographic illustrations in books by providing a stronger, non-light sensitive ink. Despite this, the two can exist harmoniously together, and photography provides a whole spectrum of new techniques for the printmaker to use in their artworks.
