"The Print Show"
2005-07-02 until 2005-07-24
Kettle's Yard Gallery, University of Cambridge
Cambridge, , UK United Kingdom

For three weeks the gallery at Kettle's Yard will double up as a print studio and exhibition space. Visitors will be able to explore a feast of artists' prints, see how they are made, try their hand at printmaking, and buy original works of art with interest free loans. This exhibition of contemporary prints made at three master print studios in and around Cambridge will highlight the strength and variety of printmaking in this area. The Curwen Studio, the Print Studio and St Barnabas Press will exhibit works by Basil Beattie, John Bellany, Peter Blake, Prunella Clough, Alan Davie, Patrick Heron, John Maclean, Victor Pasmore, Bryan Pearce, Eduardo Paolozzi, Paula Rego, alongside younger artists such as Jane Dixon, David Rayson, Alison Wilding and many others.

For over 30 years Cambridge has been a centre of excellence and innovation in printmaking, attracting artists from around the world. Each studio has its own area of expertise - lithography at The Curwen Studio, screenprinting at The Print Studio, while St Barnabas Press offers open studio facilities to artists working locally. At the same time, these three studios share an experimental approach that is also centred on the collaboration between artist and printmaker; through this kind of exchange of ideas and expertise, as this exhibition demonstrates, there are infinite possible ways to make a print.
