Misprint: More Than Reproduction
Printmaking as a traditional medium is governed by perfection and the pursuit of identical, and conventional reproductions. The margin for perfection is minuscule, with prints often failing to make the 鈥榝inal cut鈥� due to wonky registration, inky finger marks, blown out images and crookedly cut paper. So what is the fate of these 鈥榠neligible鈥� prints?
MISPRINT seeks to celebrate and find beauty in the failure of printmaking processes. This show provides an environment for artists to actively claim this space of failure as a possibility for innovation through the unknown and unexpected. Artworks that would usually be destined for the bin, or hoarded in the hopes of being useful in the future, will be given the spotlight as a way of demonstrating that even those that are imperfect - the opposite of what printmaking has traditionally aspired for - still have value.
