Other Hats: Icelandic Printmaking
International Print Center New York (IPCNY) is pleased to present Other Hats: Icelandic Printmaking, a group exhibition showcasing the breadth of printmaking by Icelandic artists. Featuring screenprints, etchings, digital work, artist鈥檚 books, and 3D prints, among other works, by over twenty intergenerational Icelandic artists, the exhibition also includes prints by select international artists who have spent enough time in Iceland to have absorbed the ethos of the country. The work includes underlying themes of storytelling, mythmaking, portraiture, landscape, and mapping, and the interrogation of materials.
The exhibition鈥檚 title Other Hats: Icelandic Printmaking has two meanings: first, printmaking is often a practice done in parallel with other media and disciplines, and second, Iceland鈥檚 uniquely small population often prompts people to hold two or more careers in parallel. For these artists, printmaking is a vital form of artistic expression that both draws from and contributes to their practices in painting, sculpture, and photography鈥攁nd, in some cases, other disciplines altogether.
