INTERNATIONAL PRINT TRIENNAL 15th September - 31st October 2012
The Krakow International Print Triennial is open to whatever is of most value and whatever is the most creative in the printmaking world, a world for which Krakow will become the centre for the twentieth time. From 1966, when the first International print Biennial was held in the city, right up to the present day, the event’s unique, democratic formula has engendered both the promotion of printmaking and the presentation of the most fascinating phenomena manifest in that world. Selected works receive their world premiere at the Krakow Triennial. It is most certainly worth being here and seeing how printmaking, with no holds barred in its artistic aspirations, rooted in the classic methods of creating images, is reaching dynamically for the future. How it has taken possession of new technologies. How it conducts experiments in the seclusion of the studio. And how new talents and artistic personalities are emerging.
