Throughout history, printmaking processes have been used to reproduce and disseminate ideas by way of books, pamphlets, posters and even playing cards. Printmaking is a rigorous discipline that demands a set of strategies that will result in the creation of a matrix, which is then used to recreate—as identically as possible—the same image multiple times. Within contemporary art practice, the boundaries that once defined printmaking as a utilitarian reproductive technique have been experimented with, enhanced, modified, and sometimes even exterminated. Interdisciplinary methods of art-making have created collaborations between mark-making, material, surface and concept that beg the question: what is a print?

In Bad Editions (Second Edition), a series of artists reunite once more to explore the possibilities of printmaking as a process, as a philosophy and as an excuse for art-making. By incorporating strategies that deviate from tradition, the artists in this exhibition challenge printmaking to define itself broadly. These artists take traditional methodologies as a point of departure to question the limits of the print, the role of the edition and how printmaking techniques might inform other disciplines.
