priNT@CDU

priNT@CDU: Printmaker’s perspective celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Print Council of Australia. We invite you to explore the diverse printmaking techniques used by artists and printmakers in the creation of limited edition prints.  

The 48 limited edition prints displayed in priNT@CDU: Printmaker’s perspective illustrate excellence, innovation and diversity in the application of print-making techniques. The exhibition presents the prints in groupings of print-making techniques such as monoprint, intaglio, lithography, screen-print, relief and typeset print from a technical or ‘printmaker’s perspective’ is to enable viewers to gain an appreciation of the diversity of approaches to this medium that is often referred to simply as ‘print-making’. 

The prints in this exhibition are drawn from the CDU Art Collection, which has steadily grown through acquisition and donation since its inception in 1980. Today the Collection consists of over 3,000 works of art. priNT@CDU features some early acquisitions to the Collection by noted Australian artists, together with works by acclaimed Northern Territory artists and former visual art lecturing staff at CDU. As the University’s Collection grows, its emphasis is increasingly focused on acquiring artworks by Territory-based artists and artists who have connections with the Territory.
