There are a handful of places left for Print 09 Symposium on 20 October at Newcastle University.
It promises to be a full and engaging day chaired by Godfrey Worsdale, Director of Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and brings together 9 speakers from throughout the UK and beyond whose involvement in print encompasses artist, printer, dealer and collector. The day will take the form of three panel presentations with time for questions and debate. Godfrey has perfectly summed up how intriguing these interdependent relationships are:
‘Since writing about it as an undergraduate in the 1980s, I have continued to be fascinated by the dynamic between artist, print workshop, dealer and collector. No other part of the art making process brings together issues of authorship and authenticity, or democratisation and commercialisation in quite the same way. Having spent four years working closely with the national collection of prints, these contradictory issues are seen to endure, and provide a very particular angle on the way in which art can be brought into being, considered and then consumed.’
The symposium is aimed at professionals involved in print including: artists, curators and arts professionals; collectors.
Speakers are:
Stephen Chambers RA (UK); Mary Christiansen (Denmark); Bill Penney (N. Ireland); Mike Taylor – Paupers Press; Kip Gresham – The Print Studio; Alfons Bytautas –Edinburgh Printmakers; Gill Saunders – Senior Curator (prints) Word & Image Dept. V&A; Frankie Rossi – Director, Marlborough Graphics; Robert Kennan – Bonhams
Print 09 Symposium is the culmination of Northern Print Biennale, the first major celebration of printmaking in the UK for 20 years.
