This project offers a “genealogy” of manifestations and objects specific to print. It has two components; a docu-book, and five (5) didactic tables. The docu-book, documentary and visual object, investigates if and how printed art workshops play a role in the construction of an artistic identity. The documentary part includes a questionnaire, the responses to the questionnaire and an analysis of these responses. The visual, ten (10) hybrid prints, is a humorous and satirical take on printed art and the artists who practice it. It examines the different and continuing concepts and positions on print art, the mission and role of the studios, and how artists navigate their expectations of place.

The didactic paintings provoke an ambiguous and ironic continuation on the culture of printed art. Each “painting” represents and brings together images according to their meaning and function: printed and political art, print and photography, print and motif, physical matrix and digital matrix “pixel”, original and reproduction, etc. Acting as an archivist, contemporary and historical works will be cited, recontextualized, and “re-imagined”. Printed in traditional techniques, the images are mounted on linen and hung on the wall using wooden dowels.
