Abstract

"The Red Hand Print studio, specalising in editioned 'hand-printed' posters and fine art editioning, is the first independent printmaking studio established in Darwin. It was established free of institutional and/or government support by local practising artists Frank Gohier & Shaun Poustie to foster and promote free artistic, social and political expression. As an accessible and non hierarchical art form for the community by using - The Street. The poster, in its ephemeral nature makes a valuable social document. Many of the images in the exhibition provide a localised and intimate portrait of the groups, institutions and issues, they promote within the Darwin region."[blurb]
