Contemporary Australian Printmaking NGV

Proof
Contemporary Australian Printmaking
9 December 2006 - 1 April 2007

The printed image, with its unique capacity to be reproduced in multiple versions, offers fertile ground for contemporary artists. So too does the variety of means by which such images can be created, from traditional techniques including woodcut and etching, to the newest developments in digital printing technology.

Today's artists explore the expressive potential of the contemporary print in many ways. Some utilise printmaking techniques in conjunction with the specialised formats traditionally associated with the multiple image, including the print portfolio and the illustrated book, while others adopt an experimental approach that moves beyond familiar expectations of the printed image.

This exhibition samples recent printmaking practice, featuring a selection of contemporary works from the NGV's permanent collection of Australian prints by artists including Mike Parr, Lesley Duxbury and Milan Milojevic.

Artists of Brücke

Artists of Brücke
February 14–May 21, 2002

This site is the Museum’s first exhibition created exclusively for the web and showcases its unparalleled collection of German Expressionist prints and illustrated books.

The Brücke group, formed in 1905 in Dresden by four revolutionary architectural students including Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel, strove to achieve a new synthesis between art and life, bringing meaning back to what they considered the superficial bourgeois existence of German life under Kaiser Wilhelm II.

They organized exhibitions and publicized their own work by issuing annual portfolios of prints. Printmaking, and the woodcut in particular, became one of their most important modes of expression.

This site presents over 110 prints arranged into thematic groupings to highlight the issues and motifs central to this seminal movement in the history of modern prints.
Flash plug-in required.

Organized by Wendy Weitman, Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books.

Mann gegen Mann
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OELeLPKH1U4

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

Man against man
But my heart freezes on some days
Man against man
Cold tongues that beat there

Please read the lyrics and translations when listening to Rammstein

Mein Teil



"The song is a play on "Weicheteile" Which means genitals in German. It is also about cannibalism and how after a man found a willing victim to slaughter they cut off his penis and ate it together first, as the victim requested."

“Looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered”
The Master Butcher ^[2]

Today I will meet a gentleman
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft parts and even hard ones ^[3]
are on the menu

Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is

It is my part – no
My part – no
There that's my part – no
My part – no
