What are the ways artists and designers use publishing as a form of communication? What are the implications of continuing to work with printing physically tangible works in the 21st century; what are strategies for working fluidly between digital and analogue to produce published works in this context?
Göteborg's Grafik i Väst, and Stockholm's Grafiska Sällskapet printmaking galleries, in collaboration with Göteborg-based publishing company Rundqvist, will engage in artistic production of magazines, books, posters and other ephemera. The booth will include tools of production, such as a risograph machine with 5 colors, a laser printer, and letterpress resources to use to print in-situ.
The collaboration "TEAM" will create artworks, such as 'zines, artists' books, and posters, also involving students from the grafik pre-university and university programmes from around Sweden, including Dômen, Göteborgs Konstskola. Other GiV and GS members will also participate in the activities, and Supermarket visitors are also welcome to participate!
The priorities of the project are to present how exciting printmaking can be, while helping us to re-think our own personal relationships to publishing in this context, and to inspire the public to reconsider the multiple ways printmaking remains and will continue to be a powerful tool for communication.
