On 20 February 2008, Ikon and Birmingham City
University School of Art co-hosted a lively roundtable discussion about
the nature of contemporary printmaking. The implications of digital technology were considered not just in terms
of production, but also its possible impact on the meaning of printed
artwork.
Ikon's Director,
Jonathan Watkins was joined on the panel by artists Tim Maguire and
Christiane Baumgartner, Tessa Sidey (Curator, Prints and Drawings
Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery), Frank Bordas (studio Frank
Bordas) and Jeremy Lewison (Independent Curator).
An audio recording of the event can be found in the Media Gallery.
