9th INTERNATIONAL TRIENNIAL OF SMALL GRAPHIC FORMS VILNIUS 2016

6th - 29th October 2016
Vilnius Graphic Art Centre
Latako str. 3, Vilnius

Curated by Nijolė Šaltenytė and Elena Grudzinskaitė, organized by Vilnius Graphic Art Centre



The  9th edition of the International Triennial of Small Graphic Forms in Vilnius exhibits 97 authors from 29 countries. 

The graphic works in the exhibition, which employ contemporary, traditional, experimental and authorial techniques, encompass a wide range of genres, ideas and narratives, guiding the viewer from realistic landscape and figurative compositions to associative fantasies and optical solutions, from decorative collages and minimalist frames to philosophical impressions and replicas of historical art and architecture.
I show there some print works of the series 'American Diary' printed during the art residence at the WSW - Women's Studio Workshop in USA.

La nona edizione dell'International Triennial of Small Graphic Forms di Vilnius porta in mostra 97 artisti provenienti da 29 nazioni.
Le opere grafiche esposte utilizzano sia tecniche di stampa tradizionali che sperimentali, offrendo un'ampia gamma di 'generi', che spaziano da composizioni più figurative ad altre più minimaliste.
Io espongo alcune stampe della serie 'American Diary' realizzate durante la residenza artistica al WSW - Women's Studio Workshop in America.
