The multiple exists to disseminate—and from that, archives emerge. This exhibition features a selection from the Department of Visual Art’s print collection at Western University, showcasing work completed over the past 50 years. These alumni artworks highlight the human experience embedded within the technical processes of printmaking. The human form is embodied within these selected works, showing a historical collaboration between machines and the individual.
This exhibition attempts to challenge critiques of human authenticity within a reproduction while highlighting a printshop’s ability to create a community within any arts institution. The prints chosen for this exhibition include examples from each decade with a varied selection of printmaking, including relief print, intaglio, lithography and serigraphy.
