ZHdK Research Tours Originalgraphik: A reflection to be continued

Description:

Focusing on the themes of art publishing and multiples, the walk will centre on Edition VFO (Verein für Originalgraphik), located in the Löwenbräu Areal. The tour will guide participants through the complexities of issues surrounding seriality and uniqueness, accessibility and democratisation of art. What makes an original? What processes of creation and dissemination do artists, publishers, printers, collectors and institutions engage in through print art?

The historical position of Edition VFO within Zurich’s art scene, as well as the unique nature of its archives, will provide a central point for a reflection on contemporary print art. This journey will lead participants to question the challenges of today’s art production and the status of artworks.

Meeting point: Hardstrasse 316, 8005 Zürich
