Transference is an exhibition involving eleven artists whose practice originates in printmaking and who here move beyond the still print image with shifts into film, sculpture, video, painting and installation.

The residue of the printmaking process remains present within the artists’ methodologies. Elements connected to the craft of printmaking – layering, repetition, labour, separation, control, mark making, multiplicity and deconstruction – underscore these transferences. Conceived as the Black Church Print Studio Artists’ annual exhibition, the artists selected this year demonstrate ambition in their expansion of the print medium, yet in their employment of different media and technology, the semblance or echo of their origins as printmakers is strongly carried through.

With undercurrent threads subtly hinting at the uncanny – mirroring; optical doubling; absence; unexpectedness; the cinematic and spatial estrangement – the works co-incidentally play further with this sense of rupture. Here, the mood shifts between the works – some quietly provocative, slow and restrained, others causing a jolt.

This exhibition is in two sites: Monster Truck Gallery, 4 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, and Broadstone Studios, 22 Harcourt Terrace, Dublin 2
