For the exhibition Print Ready Drawings, artist Julie Riley and filmmaker Jenny Leavitt constructed “exhibition copies” of drawings deemed too fragile to be displayed, documenting their process through video and still imagery to interpret historical media and modes of making. Their interpretations touch on the often-gendered divisions between craft and art, creative and technical work, and copying and innovation.
Join Riley and Leavitt for a hands-on workshop as they demonstrate their printmaking and filming techniques, followed by a round table discussion.
