‘Future Foundations’, curated by Troppo Print Studio, celebrates the past, present and future of poster and print making.
Bringing together Australian print collectives and individuals from foundational to contemporary practice, ‘Future Foundations’ aims to empower viewers and participants to build, share and distribute their own ideas via print.
Within this intergenerational meeting of ideas, there will be space for collaboration of new work in reaction to Australia’s contemporary issues. Current and foundational works sit side-by-side to demonstrate that yesterday’s environmental, political and social problems are still proving relevant today, as history repeats itself.
This exhibition features work by Alison Alder, Anthony Romagnano (Arts Project Australia), Bob Clutterbuck, Carol Porter, Chris Doyle, Glom Press, Helio Press, Lala Zarei, Negative Press, Orie Wood, Richard Harding, Silent Army Reading Room, Troppo Print Studio, Wendy Murray and the Workers Art Collective. Curated by Troppo Print Studio.
Thank you to Permaset for their sponsorship of this project.
