A talk by Gillian Ramsay on contemporary woodblock printing, held within the Making Waves exhibition at York Art Gallery.
Gillian Ramsay is giving a talk at York Art Gallery on Wednesday 1 July, titled Fresh Cuts: Contemporary Woodblock Printing. It's part of the Making Waves: The Art of Japanese Woodblock Print exhibition, and the talk runs from 12:00 to 12:30.
If you've been following the exhibition, you'll know it's all about Japanese woodblock prints, and this session looks at the contemporary side of things. Ramsay is an Assistant Curator at the Oriental Museum at Durham University, and her work focuses on art, craft and contemporary design from the MENA region, the East and Southeast Asia. That's a broad reach, and it's exactly the kind of perspective that makes a talk like this work—someone who knows the tradition but spends their time looking at how it's being pushed forward today.
It's a short session, half an hour, and it takes place right inside the exhibition gallery rather than in a separate room, so you can see the prints around you while you listen. It's one of several talks, workshops and activities that run alongside Making Waves, which is open for the duration of the show.
