The State Of
Spike Print Studio and Poland’s CTRL Art Studio present this group show featuring work by 33 artists from around the world.
The State Of is an international exhibition that uses printmaking to produce a dialogue on our current times, with voices worldwide calling out for change, positivity, and awareness, which sees printmakers engage with the exchange and curation of the exhibition in their home cities between March and June, 2019.
“We are living in a state of drastic change. Extremist political leaders around the world flex their muscles in disregard to the citizens of their states, and continuously threaten the well being of the world around them.
is needed now More than ever
“Environmentalists around the world consistently recognize the detrimental effects of our obsession for technology in the world around us, while world leaders declare it to be a hoax. The Great Barrier Reef was proclaimed dead last year, and there is no doubt that our effects on the natural world will be visible in geological findings millennia from now.
“Is there room for positivity? What would your message be to people around the world if you could express on one sheet of paper? What is the “state of” politics, environment, or social issues in your country?”
