Reproduction, repetition and rebellion

International Centre of Graphic Arts MGLC, Ljubljana

Thirteen Spanish artists and collectives have been brought together in exhibitions articulated around the 3 conceptual axes of the title. Ways of seeing or looking at a work of art are also continuously changing, owing to the channels of communication and information that characterize contemporary visual culture. This show is inside 29th Biennial of Graphic Arts.

Curators Javier Martín-Jiménez

In Reproduction, Repetition and Rebellion thirteen artists and Spanish art collectives have been brought together in exhibitions articulated around three conceptual axes: reproduction - understood as a copy of an original, normally by mechanical means (using a printing press, photocopier, plotter, etc.); repetition, as an intrinsic value of multiple art, much debated in the field of graphic arts, as well as in other techniques such as photography or video; and finally, rebellion (or defiance) – taken, firstly, as a defence of new Spanish graphic art production and practices deriving from it, and secondly, as an often-used medium by artists as an expression of social and political ideas.

The current need to redefine graphic art and other forms of multiple art has led to an inescapable debate which affects new systems of appreciation and perception by the public. On one hand, the fact that new procedures for creating images are continuously being generated, and coexist with traditional ones, extends the already blurred limits of what is possible in printing and editing. Craftwork - previously closely bound to the value and recognition of the graphic artwork - is no longer relevant, or at least not as much as the force, and symbolic or conceptual charge, of an image.

On the other hand, ways of seeing or looking at a work of art are also continuously changing, owing to the channels
of communication and information that characterize contemporary visual culture. In other words, the society we live in is a voracious, agile consumer of images, but is also accustomed to receiving them passively. The passive spectator will put up with the visual invasion of hundreds of images while his or her demand for rapidly accessible images is satisfied. Any mind used to the ‘interference’ of images will take less seconds to digest the information, to understand a certain visual language and to decode its meaning. But, in spite of this, the same mind is actually unable to assimilate the hundreds or thousands of images it perceives every day.
