In today’s world of endless copies and reproductions, printmaking offers a unique paradox—it is a medium of multiples that still celebrates the artist’s hand. This talk looks at how printmaking fits within contemporary art, and how artists today balance ideas of repetition and originality. Each print, though often belonging to an edition, carries its own character, shaped by the texture of the plate, the pressure of the press and the artist’s touch. Instead of reducing authenticity, this process gives it new meaning, turning repetition into a form of renewal. This public programme brings together voices and thinkers working in the field of print, exploring how the medium continues to offer a sense of material connection and creative depth in an increasingly digital and detached world. Speakers: John Tung, Independent Curator and the Curator of Forms of Encounter Vipash Purichanont, Independent Curator and Lecturer at the department of Art History at the faculty of Archeology, Silpakorn University Jefferson Jong, Assistant Director (Sales), STPI
