The show is called PrintEd and as implied is an exhibition of print work but the pieces come from Turkey, USA and Ireland and involve teachers and students from many different colleges. Anybody who has the remotest interest in print should see this show which will continue till April 29:
Most importantly the works shown here will become part of the LCAD collection and it is to be hoped that this is the beginning of an ongoing intercultural collaboration.
The evening was graced with the presence of Dr Maria Hinfelaar (head of LIT) and a fascinating speech was given by Christina Kennedy, Director of Contemporary Art at IMMA, who deliberated at some length of the position of print in contemporary art, particularly in Ireland. She told me that IMMA is due to move back out to Kilmainham hopefully in October - great to hear that.
The work in the show covers a remarkable range with a lot of relief work and a very high representation of etched pieces from the beautifully presented Turkish work .
Go, look, see.
