Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira l’Appropriation

Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira l’Appropriation
Welcome to a celebration of the 125th anniversary of Stéphane Mallarmé's poem Un Coup de Dés Jamais N’Abolira le Hasard (1897).
This is the poem that launched countless works of free verse and experiments with typography and the page. And also launched a host of livres d'artiste in numerous languages as well as homage in the form of film, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, theater, costume, music, dance, programming, and book art. Even exhibitions of book art. No less than five art exhibitions in homage to Un Coup de Dés appeared in the first decade of the 21st century. The fact that together they barely represented half the relevant works of homage available then demonstrates a rapidly growing recognition of its importance as a muse to book artists. And the fact that the number of such works has increased even further since suggests that it is time to take stock again.

Gummypack, Jules Sprake
Four linear metres of white panel. Blank. Filled with repeating gummy bears and love heart sweets, ink tinted in coral, lime, blackcurrant. Playful, sometimes terse, these agitations between words and images start to unpack the agency of blank. Collected in a swatch of visual poetry, bound by a screw.

Ways of Seeing the Periphery Above and Beyond Landscape, Kadri Toom
The graphic work is based on the heritage and landscape experience of the author's female line. "Growing up in south Estonia, surrounded by round lakes and hilly terrain, this experience has strongly influenced me and my work. I want to highlight site-specific visual rhythms and layers of the ground, and invisible sensations associated with places. The shapes and colours used in the works represent female energy, from which intense warmth, strenght and wisdom radiates.” Works are made in 2022, Cyanotype, silkscreen printing and relief print on paper.

Thats the Way to do It is a series of work exploring the traditional and usually very violent puppet show of Punch and Judy. Using a bizarre family as a vehicle for grotesque comedy and a sideways look at our contemporary society. Creating a dysfunctional cast of characters using theatrical imagery the work questions the nature of the spectacle as much as its representation.

Linocut is an archaic and direct technique. It can be done with very little equipment, a piece of linoleum, and some cutting tools. It demands very physical interaction between maker and plate. I have used large-scale linocuts to leave my mark, even though I am just passing through.

900 Baskets, Veronica Calarco
A nine-year obsession with making baskets from discarded prints and found yarn. Each basket marks a unit of time and carries within the narrative of its creation - why the print was created, why it was rejected, the finding of the yarn, the making of the basket and its final home.

Lydia Halcrow, Matter Maps
An embodied exploration of a coastal place vulnerable as sea levels rise. The work forms experimental alternative maps made with the matter of ‘place’ - ancient earth-pigment Bideford Black, rust crumbling from abandoned post-industrial structures, foraged marine plastics. These material/textural records map the overlooked in the time/scale of the everyday.
Holding Place
Molly Brown
46A-03, Frenchay
Molly Brown, Holding Place
In ‘Holding Place’ observations of plant life are a framework for exploring both utopian imaginings - celebrations of a joyful, ecological sense of belonging - and anxious thoughts about the results of an increasing sense of separation. The exploratory process of etching lino then working into the softened plate gives the prints a playful and unsettled quality.

Antonietta Covino-Beehre, Cultivating Hope
Cultivating Hope is a connection to memory, nurture and the cultural significance of flowers. Begun during my pandemic experience whilst in lockdown, I soon realised that the geranium flower had greater importance than its colourful leaves or fragrance-It was a symbol of resilience.

Machteld Hali, Medusa
This body of work, Voices in Flight, byline: The End of Misogyny, seeks to explore visual imagery offering flight paths which through their specific transcendental qualities allow us to rise above, and be uplifted beyond the diminishing power of misogyny: the dancer, yogi, love of family or nature even dangerous Medusa
Observances
Clare Humphries

Clare Humphries, New Moon on Monday
“Observances” translates observations of the Moon as it orbits through the night sky, cycling from one state into another in a continual process of becoming. The exhibition explores the difficulty of gaining a perceptual ‘fix’ on this celestial body, as it oscillates between closeness and distance.
REMOTE
Michelle Keegan
46A-13, Frenchay
Michelle Keegan, Remote
The work explores ideas of multi-layered conversations about how we navigate place and space. The location enables a physical response to landscape and engages in a dialogue of questions concerned with belonging, rootedness, and home. The imagery is part in-memoriam, part remapping. A personal cartography.

Giulia Leonelli, Inescapable as Today
This exhibition focuses on the production of printmaking series by the reiterations of visual elements. The prints exhibited, organised in sequences, evolves and change from surface to surface, with the intention to suspend the solidity of a form by successive metamorphosis. Each print reflects the provisional unfolding of a rhythm.
Traces of Home
Lesley Logue
46A-16, Frenchay
Lesley Logue, Traces of Home
The work highlights social injustices in the treatment and housing of refugees. Making an impression of a key implies that it can be copied, but it is also suggestive of absence as the physical object is not there, and what remains is a trace or memory.
The Meadow
Pernille Andersen
46A-17, Frenchay
Pernille Andersen, The Meadow
Photograms where plants and seeds from the meadow are placed on photosensitive polymer plates. The size ratio is 1:1. My aim, however, is not the sharpness of the contact copy, rather it is to capture the sense of the meadow's nature and growth as volatility and movement.
A Print Genealogy
Claude Arseneault
46A-18, Frenchay
Claude Arseneault, A Print Genealogy
Print Genealogy comprises two wall charts and an artist book. Each wall chart, composed of lithographic prints, creates an ironic suite on the culture of printed art.

Wojciech Tylbor-Kubrakiewicz, Lost and Found
I believe that the most substantial moments of my life took place during my peregrinations. On the other hand, my works are not a testimony to the completed journey. They document the process of being the silent witness of my adventures, sorrows and changing moods.
Dreams of Distant Fields
Prue MacDougall
46A-23, Frenchay
Prue MacDougall, Dreams of Distant Fields
These works reflect the isolation that historically New Zealanders have encountered both from our geographical distance, and also our psychological distance. In these works, I consider the historical journeying of ancestors from distant corners of the earth representing discovery but also loss. I also look to themes of migration and exploration within a world that has both expanded and contracted.

Ulla Madsen, Bee at Work
My work “Bee at work” no. 1 – 5 are woodcuts, created in 2022.
Their form is circular, like looking through a magnifying glass. Through the corona period, I found inspiration in focusing on the intimate space of my garden. I found that the time given was a resource for immersion.”

Una trenza de esperanza, Carmen Herrera Nolorve
The pandemic locked down has demonstrated that as self-portrait develops, new concerns appear. We had to face daily restrictions in our creation. In my case, my kitchen became for a brief period of time my workshop and my place to reflect. “Timeless colors” intends to combine smells, flavors and colors from kitchen and printmaking.
Dust to Dust
Abdul Hakim Onitolo
46-04, Frenchay
Abdul Hakim Onitolo
The referential use of material is emblematic of the transitory nature of existence, drawing attention to the significance of an epistemic concern. This takes into consideration a holistic embodiment of a matrix that is multi referential. The work posits frames of legacy and an understanding of arguable Manichean appeals.
Solastalgia: Materialising a Sense of Place
Aiseling Noone
46-05, Frenchay
Aiseling Noone
Responding to the emotional and mental impact of climate emergency, my visual practice takes the position of local advocacy focusing on a small local woodland. This acts as a conceptual framework based on the abstraction and manipulation of forms drawn from Ballyhighland woods, using screen print, textile and recycled materials.

A New Beginning, Sara Nowell
Mental illness can impact anyone, anywhere, at any age. It can be experienced as a sufferer or support role.
Using participatory research on mental illnesses (depression, eating disorders and suicide) provide the artwork narrative. Print voices feelings through colour, line, process, and illustration.
Can art break boundaries and action change?

Sumi Perera
46-09, Frenchay
Sumi Perera
An interactive multimodular artistbook-installation that reflects on homelessness, which is so far removed from the idealism of the neo-avantgarde of ‘starchitects’.
Reflecting the nomadic/‘wobbly’ existence of the artist, it’s designed as flat-packed structures that can expand/contract to occupy any given space/dimension, thus explores the fugitive nature of home and shelter.

Wavering, Anna Bredenberg
Wavering is a body of work where I examine disintegration as a slow, almost imperceptible process. I use thin paper that enables a layered and collage-like finish. The translucency and sensitivity of the paper connect with the thematics of my work about volatility and fragility.

White Magic and Printmaking go hand in hand with their roots in tradition, ritualistic process, symbolism and alchemy, both using material transformations to probe the nature of reality. Print, like Witchcraft has its own lineage, a history that can be traced back, a reliance of knowledge passed down.

Shelter
Collodion glass negatives are overlayed and scanned, enhancing figurative elements and abstracting sections.
This abstracted imagery gives a sense of transition and a state of flux in the shelters creation, offering a duality in that the structures themselves are made for protection but are also temporary and will disappear.

These artworks document the strong human impulse to make a mark through graffiti left on over-bed tables in a boarding school Sanatorium. The snippets of text engraved into the surface of the wooden tables have been meticulously recorded through frottage, offering an intimate insight into the thoughts and ailments of students. Each cluster of rubbings represent a different illness. This moving and life-affirming body of work documents intentional traces made during historic pandemics along with individual illness. It is particularly relevant today, offering a poignant reminder of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Claude chamber – printmaking/moving image collaboration inspired by an 18th century viewfinder
The exhibition combines elements of moving image and printmaking. Its starting point is Claude glass, a black convex mirror used by 18th and 19th century painters for viewing landscapes. The installation consists of copper plates and time series filmed via their surfaces. The videos are projected to the space reflected via the same copper plates from which they were filmed.
Hold Dear
Marion Wassenaar
Virtual
Lifelines, Marion Wassenaar
Hold Dear unites artists from the Print Studio at the Dunedin School of Art, New Zealand. Tactile interaction with the historic Quarantine Island creates a physical, community environment. Power relationships and sexual politics stroke intimacy through stop motion. Grappling with deprived contact laments isolation and the vanishing freedoms of children.

About the PRISM Book Series
Randi Annie Strand
Virtual

Book series inspired by the light refraction phenomenon, and how different color mixtures behave in a given material. Made of a thin, translucent, porous Japanese paper that lets in a lot of light. Relief print. The books are filmed, the films are separate artworks.
Inferno
Fernando Feijoo
Virtual
Hell on earth, Fernando Feijoo
Humanity’s destruction of the planet and their consequent self-annihilation is examined within the Inferno series.This body of work is a contemporary exploration and interpretation of Dante’s Inferno.
The world disintegrates, a pandemic rages, war erupts, temperatures boil, waterways flood, and the Earth is metamorphosed into something different.
The impact man has on the planet and the effects of these actions; the imprint of man on the natural world; the infliction of wrongs on fellow humans: all these feed into, and suffuse the large scale work that Feijoo produces.These are visions which stand alone or form part of a larger series of work and explore the traditions of narrative display, using diptych and triptych formats to represent the passage of time.

Encuentro Meeting 2020, Maria Gabriela Zgaib
My print “Encuentro” “Meeting "represents the relationship between the things we have lost because of COVID19 and all the changes that emerge after it.
This print tries to show the complex emotional, intellectual and social instability and the conspicuous circumstances that the pandemic has brought on by fear.
All the other Works of “Esperando el porvenir “” Waiting for the future” are closely related to my print.

Indian Ocean Ceremony
Layli Rakhsha
Virtual
Layli Rakhsha, 2021, Latif (Elegant)
The Indian Ocean ceremony project reflects a symbolic relationship between the idea of home, boundaries, and the Indian Ocean water. The initial idea of this project began when I looked through binoculars at a boat in the sea and saw a boat within a solid boundary and unchangeable circle.
We keep hearing that many asylum seekers and children are still losing their lives in the Indian Ocean waters while heading to a country far away from their homeland, and there are still political negotiations and concerns about people who put their lives in danger by finding a home in this way. For me, hearing the news about the number of illegal boats and people drowned in the water evokes my feelings and the idea of home. Many questions are raised, and I try to imagine the experiences the people would have had in their journey towards a home. I feel that the ocean carries their stories; stories that echo sorrow yet desire for a home.
In this project, I explore the greatness and dignity of human beings and how to visualise the ocean as a path for seeking a home. Each work reflects an image of Indian Ocean water and handcrafted a name related to a particular attribute to a human being.
Sitting in my quiet studio and thinking of home, boundaries, dignity and imaging the solid circle on the printed images of the water simultaneously work to shape my project, which allows me to visualise their stories and hear my thoughts louder.

The Cost, Nicci Haynes
At the speed of light comprises films made by printmakers who combine video and animation into their practices, using the print as a matrix to be cut and collaged and rearranged. Everyday print technology is enlisted: the photocopier, the receipt printer, the monoprint. The print proof becomes a film frame.

A Week of Angels
Tom Lomax
Virtual
Raphael, Tom Lomax
This series of work is derived from the ‘sigils’ of the seven angels of the week, as assigned by Barrett in the Magus.
The engaging of angel forms here is not religious in intent, rather a fascination with the metaphysical human need/desire for such phenomenon, leading to imaginative realms via metaphors that represent the dynamic of the universe.

Mokulitohanga_01, Ariadna Abadal
We call this technique "Mokulitohanga" because we combine Mokulito, the Japanese Lithography on Wood, with Mokuhanga, the Traditional Japanese Woodcut. Another word that we are using to name this metamorphosis is "Mokulitosurf" because it is the first time that someone reuses a printmaking matrix to convert it into a surfboard.

One Tree Less (Uma árvore a Menos), Fabio Sapede
The project "One Tree Less" carried out at the height of the pandemic, when, at the same time, we witness an immense devastation of our forests, presupposes a video clip based on a song composed by Igor Caracas, illustrated with 8 engravings in drypoint recorded by Fabio Sapede (at De Etser Atelier - Brazil) and colored with watercolor that gave rise to the stop motion Clip.

Lilienthal Feathers, Stephen Hoskins
A exhibition of prints that fly. Stephen Hoskins has been making kite and aeroplane prints for forty years. The works are about the craft of making, delighting in challenging the notions of what constitutes a print and where the perceived borders between fine and applied arts, end and begin.
Matter out of Place (Witches Knickers)
Nicky Harwood
Frenchay Barn
Dust Sheet One, Nicky Harwood
Concerned with landscape and society's ever expanding relationship with disposable culture and subsequent waste. I choose to print outside, embracing rot, decay and mold in the process, as a means of subverting the traditional ideas and rules of printmaking. And using repair to strengthen and reuse failed or broken materials.

Hybrids
Lead Curator: Aleksandra Janik
F Block Gallery, Bower Ashton
Małgorzata ET BER Warlikowska, My Wealth is Your Poverty
Contemporary printmaking is a hybrid zone where the ranges of new technologies and different media merge and intersect. It is a territory where creations composed of incompatible parts are born and developed. It is a veritable breeding ground for interspecies hybrids.
This exhibition presents works difficult to be classified that still cannot be refused from immanent features of a printmaking medium – creative, two-stage thinking through matrix and print and/or evident multiplicity.
However, the exhibition does not focus strictly on printmaking as a tool and technological issues. Instead, it creates a broad, conceptual framework to accommodate innovative and bold ideas that can be fully expressed only through hybrid or augmented printing.
Artists:
Charlotte Biszewski, Laura Bortoloni, Paul Catanese, Fuchen Chu, Laura Clarke, Deborah Cornell, Andrew Folan, Susana Gómez Larrañaga, Vanessa Gallardo Fernández, Bea Haines, OliverHa mbsch, Nicci Haynes, Magdalena Hlawacz, Raluca Iancu, Antía Iglesias Fernández, Michał Krawiec, Monika Lukowska, Graciela Machado, Judith Martinez Estrada, Jonathan McFadden, Małgorzata Oakes, Sioban Piercy, Nicole Pietrantoni, Przemek Pintal, Endi Poskovic, Paweł Puzio, Sarah Robinson, Suzie Smith, Daniela Tagowska, Patricia Villalobos Echeverría, Małgorzata ET BER Warlikowska, Xuewu Zheng,

‘The Land as Other’ curated exhibition has developed from printmaker Dr Veronica Calarco’s transdisciplinary research project, ‘We Live with the Land’ (https://www.cyd-fywartir.com) supported by Aberystwyth University’s Joy Welch Research Fund. Calarco along with printmaker Judy Macklin, Professor Mark Macklin and Dr Lucy Taylor have formed a new collaborative team to help shape and lead this exhibition, building on particularly the long-standing art-geoscience practice developed by Macklin and Macklin over the last 10 years. Ten printmakers have been invited to collaborate with the four curators. Their work addresses the following themes in Wales: deep-time environmental histories; language; a sense of place; a sense of loss; re-wilding; Cymru as ‘Other’; migration and displacement; colonialism and citizenship.
The artists involved in the collaboration practice in England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and Wales. They are each researching different aspects of their personal interaction with the land, whether by observing the intimacies and changes of their local landscape, exploring human modification of the land and it’s intended and unintended consequences, questioning the current socio-ecological status of the land, or telling the story of place through the myths, many of which come from deep time people-environmental interactions. The printmakers create their work using traditional printmaking techniques – lithography, etching, relief – as well as pushing the boundaries of these techniques with caustic soda lino etching, Xerox transfer printing, monotype and marbling mixed media printing, and drawing with soil, berries, charcoal, moss and lichen.
By bringing together artists and researchers from humanities and science ‘The Land as Other’ project and exhibition makes a novel intervention on the conference theme of ‘Merging and Metamorphosis’.
