Printmaking in Relation: The Workshop as Alibi
Printmaking in Relation: The Workshop as Alibi presents the outcome of several workshops undertaken as part of Trent Walter's PhD research at Monash Art, Design and Architecture. The form of the exhibition reflects the premise of Walter's research: how can printmaking be re-visioned to reflect contemporary theory?
About the artist
Trent Walter is one of Australia’s leading master printers and is interested in the intersection between printed matter and contemporary art. Walter’s collaborations take the form of artists’ books, print series and, increasingly, workshops that explore the social aspects of printmaking practice.
Walter’s imprint, Negative Press, is a laboratory where printmaking’s inherent trait of mechanical reproduction, notions of the copy and complex relations to authorship are explored, participating in international dialogues regarding collaboration, materiality and representation. Walter is currently a PhD candidate in Fine Art at Monash University Art Design and Architecture.
