PRESSURE: Architecture, Process and the Print Studio examines the role of the printmaking studio in architectural education and contemporary practice through selected works and materials from two studios: A83 (New York) and Polyline Press (Sydney). By tracing printmaking processes, the show considers the poetics and the medium’s capacity for spatial experimentation. The exhibition showcases the techniques, technologies, methods, and modes of representation that connect ‘works in progress’ to the completed work and positions printmaking as a lens through which we can understand shifts in architectural practice, and pedagogy.
PRESSURE 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 and the workshop: separation, reversal, pressure, and repetition. Elevating the often-overlooked mechanics of process allows the final works to be experienced alongside sketches, videos, and tools that define them, bridging the gap between analogue craft and digital tools.
By temporarily turning the gallery into a printmaking workshop, PRESSURE explores the Tin Sheds gallery's own long and rich history as a workshop space - and more broadly the printmaking workshop as a central space of education, community and experimentation.
