This exhibition features the work of a range of artists who have worked at the Centre for Fine Print Research, UWE in Bristol. Each of the works have been realised through the use of cutting edge digital print technologies and explore new relationships between the notion of object and illusion made possible by such means.
This exhibition features the work of a range of artists who have worked with, or worked as researchers at the Centre for Fine Print Research in Bristol. Each of the print works in the show has been made through the use of cutting edge print technology ranging from high end inkjet printers, laser cutters through to 3D printed objects produced using the latest in rapid prototype printing technology. A number of the works have been specially made for the show and explore the relationship between the second and third dimension in print. Such works include Katie Davies and Peter Walters collaborative piece that translates audio data from outerspace to create three dimensional shapes and two dimensional images. Jeremy Gardiner and Anthony Head’s piece however, is based around satellite images looking down to earth to map through virtual environments and 2D and 3D renderings an exploration of a section of the Dorset coast. As well as the new work, the exhibition features a work by Richard Hamilton printed at the CFPR in 2003 – The Typo Topography of Marcel Duchamp’s Large Glass – which maps and annotates Duchamp’s work in the form of a large inkjet print. Other work in the show includes an illuminated print by US artist Lesley Dill and laser cut prints by Charlotte Hodes.
Event:
Artist Talk by Jeremy Gardiner and Paul Thirkell
Saturday 11 September, 1-2pm
Artist Jeremy Gardiner will speak about the work he has produced in creative partnership with Anthony Head for the show. This includes a complex and fascinating 3D exploration of a UNESCO world heritage site where a virtual topographical landscape of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset can experienced by the viewer combining the characteristics of painting, drawing, computer animation, immersive Virtual Reality, ambient sound and satellite data. He will also speak about 3D dome relief prints and laser cut curved cherry wood panoramas that he made at the CFPR to accompany the virtual space of LIGHT YEARS: COAST.
Curator of 3D 2D Object and Illusion in Print Paul Thirkell from the Centre for Fine Print Research, Bristol, will talk about the theme of the exhibition and outline how this has been explored by the artists in the show and provide insight into the work that went into the production of the prints at the CFPR. He will also outline some of the research that is undertaken at the Centre especially in relation to cutting edge print techniques such as 3D rapid prototype printing, laser cutting and artist quality wide format inkjet printing.
