Redefining The Multiple: 13 Japanese Printmakers features the work of artists trained as printmakers who push the boundaries of what is commonly understood as traditional printmaking processes and techniques. Artists expand the concept of a print and take creative advantage of the multiple as a process that builds an edition or in some cases a three-dimensional sculpture or video. Works in Redefining the Multiple encompass a broad range media including etching, aquatint, monotype, screen-print, photographic processes, woodcut, to mixed media, video and three-dimensional works in felt, cast resin. The exhibit works of exceptional quality and innovation and extends the traditional conventions of printmaking and its use of the multiple through creative and dynamic approaches.
