Exhibition: ED6

8 - 29 March 2025 | Our Neon Foe, Sydney

Printmaking as a medium is driven by process and is inherently community-orientated. Even within contemporary or experimental forms, the act of imprinting, reproducing, or transferring is inevitably collaborative; bound by clean and dirty hands, shared resources, and exchange. Much like artist-run-initiatives (ARI) and collectives, printmaking is often a team effort.

Bringing together 19 artists from across Australia, ED 6 celebrated contemporary approaches to printmaking with a focus on early-career artists in dialogue with more established printmakers. Presented at peer ARI, Our Neon Foe, the exhibition highlighted the importance of collaboration and grassroots connections in not only printmaking but the broader arts community. Demonstrating the malleability of print in both focused and cross-disciplinary practices, ED 6 offered playful encounters with differing material and conceptual exploration, sharing recent work by artists previously featured as part of More Than Reproduction’s monthly artist profile program.

ED 6 marked the sixth iteration of the annual Edition program, an exhibition series which navigates the breadth and depth of contemporary print-practice, occuring in March each year to align with International Women’s Day and MTR’s establishment.
