New territories of the graphic: image, process and distribution

Abstract

Graphic art is in a process of symbiosis with the dominant visual culture in which image technology, decentralization of the matrix and the adaptation of the exhibition format merge with other artistic activities. The analysis of the communities formed around this practice set a puzzle, seemingly well fitted, which is divided between formalism and conceptualism, between the idea and the process. Biennials and triennials, at the forefront of speech, constantly question any concept that were able to settle solidly: because of the decline of the traditional process discourse deepens nourished by invective of social, environmental and territorial contradictions becoming a reflection of contemporary society. Understand the current graph passes through an exercise of openness and a process of adaptation to technical and iconographic change in sectors concerned. Understand graphic art today means an exercise of openness and a process of adaptation to technical and iconographic change in all statements. Now printmaking is a territory where the artistic globalization lets people cross all its borders fluently.
