Process: Architecture, Process and the Print Studio

This exhibition examines the role of the printmaking studio in architectural education and practice through selected works and materials from four studios: A83, John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers (New York), Polyline Press & Tin Sheds (Sydney). By tracing printmaking processes over time, the show considers the poetics and politics of these methods and their capacity for spatial experimentation. The exhibition investigates printmaking as both an artistic medium and a rigorous pedagogical tool, where the deliberate slowness and labour-intensive mechanics of craft are made visible through the physical actions that define the medium: separation, reversal, pressure, and repetition. Final works are presented alongside often-overlooked mechanics of process, such as sketches, videos, and tools to examine the relationship between analogue craft and digital tools.
