University Of Hawai'i - ART EXHIBITION:� GROENIGER [META]

ART EXHIBITION: GROENIGER [META]

August 24 -- September 18, 2015

The Art Gallery at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Art Building

Scott Groeniger presents a collection of recent digital prints and videos, many of which were created during his 2014 residencies in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and in Beijing and Taiyuan, China.

Groeniger states, "I am interested in versions of iterations of prints. Versioning, in terms of the printed edition, produces multiple prints that are as visually similar as one's process or skill will allow. I make versions of prints that are unique and sourced from other prints. Often the ‘print,' similar to the photographic negative, is the beginning of my process rather than the end. The prefix meta is used to reference an idea that is about its own category--an X about X. In computational science, metadata is data about data. I am experimenting with printing prints made for reprinting the grammar of printmaking, or in effect, printing the metaprint."
