About Edition Five:

Surveying the breadth and depth of contemporary print-practice, Edition Five marks More Than Reproduction (MTR)’s fifth anniversary as an artist-run initiative, aligning with International Women’s Day. Demonstrating the malleability of printmaking in both focused and cross-disciplinary practices, the exhibition features recent work by artists from MTR’s monthly artist profile program. Underpinned by parallels and polarities, experimentation is at the nucleus of the exhibition, with artists navigating diverse print methodologies and outputs. In this exhibition, printmaking exists within the depths of the past and the surface of the present; where the reproducible and unique converge and co-exist.

Artists: Danielle Creenaune, Saskia Haalebos, Angela Hayson, Jacqueline Jacky, Isabella Kennedy, Emilee Robinson, Jenny Robinson, Katika Schultz, Brigitta Summers, and Maria Thaddea.
Exhibition Dates: 8 - 26 March 2024
Location: Broadhurst Gallery, Hazelhurst Arts Centre
