Margaret McLoughlin’s Timeswept Exhibition

originalprint — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:52:12 +0000

Margaret McLoughlin’s Peat Path

We are delighted to announce the opening of Margaret McLoughlin’s third solo exhibition in the Original Print Gallery, which previews on Thursday April 16th 2009.

This new body of work by Margaret McLoughlin conjures up the isolation and desolation of a forest landscape. The power of the elements is seen in the fallen trees, the broken branches and the windswept plain. This constant natural regeneration bears witness to the passing of time. Remnants of man-made structures evoke our fleeting presence on the landscape. McLoughlin uses carborundum and drypoint to convey the rich colours and textures of this wet peaty landscape. In a new departure for McLoughlin, this exhibition includes oils on canvas affording the artist a new domain to explore.

The exhibition continues until May 8th.

No Man’s Land – a participatory print project with Piia Rossi

originalprint — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:58:48 +0000

‘No Man’s Land’ is a fictional designate, that describes an area not assigned to any owner, an area that clearly does not belong to any subject.

Here at the Original Print Gallery, in a unique participatory art installation/ intervention Finnish artist Piia Rossi and a heterogeneous selection of invited collaborators will explore their differing perspectives of a utopian or personal terrain. Their map will be drawn, printed, stamped directly onto the blank canvas of gallery’s walls. The work will be continually evolving over the week, as the collaborators, design, play with and mark the ‘terra incognito.’ The exhibition aims to explore the space between artists and audience, between public and private space and between the emotional and topographical landscapes.

Hello world!

originalprint — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:39:17 +0000

Hello,

We’ve set this blog up especially for a very special partipatory project we have coming up – No Man’s Land.

We hope that this blog will act as a window into the strange new world we will be creating in the Original Print Gallery.

Each day from October 7th we will have contributers coming in to print their inspired land/city/imagined scapes and contribute to our No Man’s Land. We will be recording the results each day and uploading them here for you to view. We are really excited about the variety of results given the diversity of the participants. Pop back regularily to see how we get on.

Warm regards,

Crona (original print gallery) & Piia Rossi (artist and facilitator)
