Abstract

Comprising 167 works – including lithographs, etchings, drypoints and screenprints – drawn entirely from Charles Darwin University's permanent collection of art, In Print highlighted the power and beauty of graphic work by Indigenous, non-Indigenous and Southeast Asian artists working in, or inspired by Northern Australia, many of whom have worked under the auspices of CDU’s various printmaking workshops, studios and enterprises from 1993 to the present. Venturing across the Far North’s cities and townships, to some of its most remote communities, the exhibition drew together a 17-year history of CDU’s principal visual art and printmaking entities: the University Art Collection, the Art School (NTU Print Workshop, 1993-96; Northern Editions Printmaking Workshop, 1997-2002) and today’s Northern Editions Printmaking Studio.
