Belfast Print Workshop
Cutting stories , Engraving Lines
Curated by Peter Mutschler of Ps2
In times of digital imagaing and photoshop,is traditional printmaking out of date? To cut lines in wood or lino,use a needle or nail to scratch lines in metal,pull ink across a screen, to stain the plates and roll them through a heavy press-all to get one image? Isn't it old fashioned and complicated? See for yourself with an exhibition of new prints from BPW.
Touch the metal plates,feel the lines and compare it with the print. Get Black hands,turn the big wheel of the press and observe the changes artsist made form onr print to the next.
Cutting stories engraving lines is selected by Peter Mutschler,artist and curator of Ps2 in Belfast. Normally an organiser of experimental urban arts projects, Peter still prefers the result from a printing press.
