‘Thinking of Place’ showcases small contemporary prints by 60 Australian and New Zealand printmakers whose work explores social, cultural and political issues through concepts of land, country, the built and natural environment, colonisation, ancestral connections, identity and imagined locations.
As an international exchange project, the exhibition presents diverse works by printmaking groups from across the Tasman including Inkmasters Cairns Inc (AUS), Goldfields Printmakers (AUS), Melbourne Printmakers Group (AUS), North Island Printmakers (NZ) and Te Wai Pounamu Printmakers (NZ).
Previously touring to Eastside Gallery, Linwood, Christchurch, NZ, The Depot, Artspace, Auckland, NZ and KickArts Contemporary Arts, Cairns, QLD, ‘Thinking of Place’ coincides with the Print Council of Australia’s 50th anniversary and the ‘2016 Year of Print’ national celebrations.
