A Dream of Community at KODE
After the Masters (wet - on - wet series) #8 and #10 (2014) to the left, An Uncut Line (Triumph) (2016) by Anna Christina Lorenzen to the right.
Two of my silk screen prints from the series After the Masters (wet - on - wet series) (2014) are shown in very good company amongst great older and younger prints and graphic works at KODE from November 22 2019 to March 15 2020.
“Printmaking and graphic art has always been a vehicle for protest and political change. The exhibition presents graphic works from the museum collections by old masters like Rembrandt and Dürer and Norwegian artists like Per Kleiva and Inger Sitter. These are displayed alongside contemporary works from Trykkeriet’s own collection.
Three artists, Heli Rekula, Thomas Kilpper and Azar Alsharif, have been invited to present new works especially for the occasion.
With this presentation we wish to reaffirm the collective aspect of many forms of printmaking and to highlight important social and political currents associated with the medium.”
