Some interest on the net
exhibitions, general, printmakers, resources :: posted on April 2nd, 2008
Aine Scannell has a terrific blog and recently she started to work on a new blog that is dedicated to the use of the digital print in combination with traditional methods. She is looking for people who may be interested in contributing to her research, which I did as I think it is an interesting project! Her main blog is a very comprehensive read as well, plenty of interesting articles.
A couple of things keep popping up for me, so I thought I would write about then here then I will always know where to find the links. One is paper size. This seems to be quite straight forward, but every now and then it is a matter of finding the exact size required from a standard perspective. So Markus Kuhn’s webpage is quite a handy reference.
Also an ongoing quest is finding out about paint ingredients. I found Tony Johansen’s website to be the most extensive and educational out there in web world! He has put together a huge amount of information for his students, but it is so easy to follow it is a wonderful resource.
There are a couple of exhibitions happening around Hobart as well. I fully intend to get out there and have a break from work to soak in some of the work that is on show this week, but here are the details if you happen to be in Hobart.

The RACT has a show of work from their recent inaugural competition for a portrait done by a person under the age of 30. Nice to see the youth age has gone up a little there! The work is on show at the Sidespace Gallery from 3 - 14 of April, then it travels to Launceston - 17 - 27 April at the Design Centre - then on to Burnie at the Regional Arts Gallery from May 2 - 18.
Hunter Island Press are having an exhibition and sale of work at the Old Bakery Gallery in Sydney this month. Thirteen members have prints on show using a range of techniques. The prints are all 21 x 21cm and the gallery is located at 22 Rosenthal Avenue, Lane Cove.
The Colville Street Gallery is opening an exciting exhibition this Friday. Work from the Port Jackson Press printmakers will be on show until April 24th. I’m looking forward to that one! Might even make the opening…

I’ve been enjoying Aine’s blogs for a while, and saw her feature on you, too! Thanks for your links, especially the paper sizes!

Yes I had thought of you Marja-Leena when Aine started her digital x traditional print quest! You have certainly gained a lot of experience in that area in recent years. Finding interesting links is always an interesting activity - never know what your going to come up with!
