For the two past recent CCP exhibitions of the PAP (entitled
"Press
On" and "Territories"), the printmakers have
engaged in the process of
printmaking and its continual evolution and calibration with
the
times. For the next CCP show this August 2016, we propose
that we go
back to basics, so to speak. Entitled "Papers and
Layers," we are
inviting the printmakers to engage themselves with works on
paper.
However, this does not mean to be relegated as traditional,
for
printmaking, as it was mentioned, is vital to the changes of
the
visual arts landscape. Though the works may be rendered on
paper, the
final prints may be transposed as sculptural works on paper,
installation art with paper, and such. Hence, we just do not
pander to
one surface but to give it layers with how we work with
images as we
add/press them on surfaces.
The concept is to come up with new works answering to the
need to keep
printmaking contemporary. The point of this exhibition is to
show the
vitality of printmaking in contemporary expressions. Ergo, we urge
the members to engage their works beyond their noted comfort
zones,
taking off from traditional techniques towards innovative
works
employing paper as a take off point.
