On 28th July, I went to the SW1 Gallery in Victoria to the private view of 'Print & Design Now 2011' an exhibition organised in association with Bearspace (www.bearspace.co.uk). Approximately 200 prints were selected and presented unframed and there was varied mix of printmaking, drawing, graphics, digital media and some sculpture.
My husband had two prints selected and these can be viewed along with the other prints on the Bearspace website.
The exhibition is on until the 23rd August and then it travels around the country for the next 4 months. This was the first exhibition I have been to where all the work has been unframed. It made the atmosphere at the private view less formal as the work was not displayed in such a regimented way and the work was affordable. I also think the exhibition attracted submissions from younger artists and students because framing was not required as this can often be a great expense.
