MAKE PRINT GREAT AGAIN
‘Make Print Great Again’ brings together eight artists based in the North East of England, each of whom has an individual approach to the nature, techniques and possibilities of printmaking and its position within contemporary art. The exhibition has been curated by Nick Christie and Johnnyx.
Erika Servin’s work draws upon the historic relationship between Mexican politics and popular street posters with their cheapness, ease of reproduction and strong graphic possibilities. The prints exhibited in this exhibition represent the setting of a Pulquería, a once popular Mexican tavern, few of which remain today, where pulque, the traditional drink made from the maguey plant was consumed. Servin plays with the possibilities for print in an expanded contemporary context.34/98/5973
