Abstract

Parallel Prints
Parallel Prints www.parallel-prints.com  presents the same exhibition simultaneously in the UK and New Zealand.

The uniqueness of the reproducible print allows for the same works to be viewed at the same time on opposite sides of the world.  This highlights the democratic nature of printmaking and questions the aura of the unique.  Which venue is showing the ‘real’ work?  Which the reproduction?
The portfolio features 12 artists, Anne Desmet, Chris Pig, David Ferry, Duncan Bullen, Gillian Golding, Mark Graver, Johanna Love, Margaret Ashman, Sandy Sykes, Stephen Mumberson, Timo Lehtonen and Weimin He contributing one work in an edition of 36.
