Abstract

Printed light examines the way in which photographic material and ‘ways of seeing’ have influenced 20th-century artists who also work in the print medium. Some artists exploit photography by manipulating, appropriating and/or subverting photographic imagery in their work. For others, the influence of photography is more subtle and tangential. Their work may, for example, refer back to a hyper-realism that pre-dates photography. In others again, it may be the way in which photographic ‘framing’ has conditioned a particular way of seeing. This exhibition highlights the extraordinary strength of the Gallery's International Print collection. [Gallery media, 2004].
