Making Prints and Thinking about It

By Jan Svenungsson

Using graphic prints to think

The book presents the entire graphic works of the
artist Jan Svenungsson, who has been responsible Graphics and
Printmaking at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna since 2011,
accompanied by a text that seamlessly combines practical information,
stories and speculations in an entertaining way.

His
overarching objective is to critically discuss the meaning of graphic
prints in contemporary art, and more specifically: to illuminate the
role of single-handedly "making" them - at a time when the conditions
for exercising creativity are undergoing rapid change: What are the
implications of the tools the artist selects? What does authenticity
mean in today's art? How does the role of the artist change when he
makes himself dependent on artificial intelligence?
