OVERPR!NT

Editions as seditions, prints as means of counter-information, from pamphlets to samizdats, from posters to clandestine press : the history of print being one of diffusion of ideas and images, it is therefore logical that print should become the vehicle for rebellious and/or parallel ones. This is the source reflexion for OVERPR!NT.

OVERPR!NT manifesta as an international museum exhibition, involving artists from institutions in Brussels, London, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Leipzig and The Hague.

The work exhibited explores the lines connecting print techniques with contemporary modes and technologies of communication, traversing the overlaps between subversion, propaganda, information and disinformation. In an age where political narratives and counter narratives blur into one another through social media and consumerist appropriation, how can artists frame their own messages as forms of direct address to the audience?
