Printmaking Conferences to plan for...
|
|
IMPACT 11
International Printmaking Conference
22 to 26 September 2020
IMPACT – International Multi-disciplinary Printmaking, Artists, Concepts and Techniques – is one of the largest professional conferences dedicated specifically to printmaking. It was first held in 1999, by The Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England.
Since 2009, Hong Kong Open Printshop has attended the IMPACT conferences, meeting friends and gaining experience. Now, after years of planning, IMPACT is coming to Hong Kong. IMPACT 11 will be the largest international printmaking conference ever staged in Hong Kong. To mark this important occasion, the theme Print Art Hong Kong: Legends and Legacies has been chosen, alongside an exciting series of cultural exchange programmes that introduce Hong Kong’s contemporary print art scene and explore the historical development of print art in the city. From historical lithography and letterpress printing introduced by western missionaries, to printmaking creations by contemporary local artists, IMPACT 11 will showcase the unique print art of Hong Kong and provide insight into its hybrid roots.
Hong Kong’s bicultural identity and historic role as an international hub has played a major part in shaping the development and aesthetics of local print art. During IMPACT 11, more than a hundred years of local printmaking history will be unpacked through exhibitions, workshops, thesis presentations and seminars. The conference will also serve as a platform where local and international graphic art lovers, scholars, printmakers and the public come together to explore, encounter and exchange ideas. Bringing international experts from the global art community to events staged throughout the whole of Hong Kong, IMPACT 11 will transform the city into a hub of print art and be a flagship art event for 2020.
Conference location: Hong Kong

IMC2020: Sumi-Fusion
International Mokuhanga Conference
18 to 22 November 2020
Nara is renowned today as a center of production for the finest sumi ink. This fourth convening of the International Mokuhanga Conference, titled Sumi-Fusion, will celebrate the versatility of sumi in woodblock printing, both historically and in contemporary applications across Japan and abroad. Additionally, it will explore the presence of black, and how it relates to color.
Lying at the easternmost end of the Silk Road, Nara was a meeting point where artisans, monks, merchants and literati from China, Korea and India mingled with the citizens of the ancient capital. And it was here, with the refinement of available materials for its production, that woodblock printmaking became an important medium of communication.
IMC2020 will combine a look at Nara’s role in the development of mokuhanga while spotlighting its contemporary fusions: its relevance today, its globalizing future, and its ever-growing interest among new generations of art students, crafts-people, artists and academics.
IMC2020 will be designed around exhibitions, discussions, demonstrations and academic presentations that reflect the diversity of interests and approaches to mokuhanga within the wider disciplinary world of print-media and contemporary art.
Conference location: Naru, Japan

The 2018/19 Folio Project
... is in the throes of being completed! As we speak, artists are completing their prints. During February-April 2020, the completed prints will be compiled into four themed sets of book folios, each editioned to 15, and each with a complete set of Artist Proofs for sale.
Following this, each participating artist will receive their book folio. And during the rest of 2020, each book folio will be exhibited, the Art Gallery of South Australia will select the book folio it wishes to acquire and one each of the three remaining folios will be offered for sale to collectors. The Artists Proofs will be available for individual sale through the Art Vault in Mildura (to be advised).
Participating artists may also apply to take one of the remaining book folios with them on their travels overseas as gifts to other printmakers, studios and art communities. This gift is the defining reason for the International Print Run project - to spread generosity and make friendships and connections with other artists and communities around the world.
The participating artists in the 2018/19 book folios are:

Have you seen the #yellowclaybus?
You may have noticed #yellowclaybus popping up on social media. Or maybe you've been lucky enough to find a real little bus, somewhere on the street...
This fabulous art activism project was started by pottery teacher Michele Nooteboom of Wakefield Potters, Morphett Vale.
In the process of discovering that Wakefield Potters' big kiln was 'not able to be repaired', the pottery studio was also declared 'not up to code' as it was originally built as a bus shelter. ( Excellent use of a bus shelter! -Ed.)
Add Mary Pulford and the enthusiasm of 60 students (many of whom are kids) and the #yellowclaybus project started. Approximately 250 tiny yellow buses have been made so far... appearing anywhere from local to interstate and overseas locations. Search #yellowclaybus on Insta for a most marvellous series of snaps.
So, while Wakefield Potters have a long wait for their paperwork to be approved, and some fundraising work ahead of them for a lovely new kiln, classes are continuing and the #yellowclaybus keeps on keeping on...
