Grafikens Hus has invited the japanese woodblockprint collective A3BC to ”The Boundless Platform – Unfolding Print” for a digital residence. Follow them on our Instagram 18–24/11 2024
During the “Digital Takeover”, we will be posting about our usual activities and process of making prints as a collective. We will be showing photos and videos of our weekly Thursday gatherings, our base of operations, the work we have been producing, how we make prints of various sizes in a small space without a press, and how we use our prints.
We will also show the research processes of researching for our new pieces and of making “Introduction to Woodblock Prints for Action,” a zine which we plan to self-publish. We also have in storage the works of our friends who are engaged in collective printmaking in different parts of Asia, so through them we would like to share with you how big and diverse the network of printmaking collectives has grown in Asia.
Artist’s bio
A3BC (Anti-War, Anti-Nuclear and Arts of Blockprint Collective) formed in the summer of 2014 at IRREGULAR RHYTHM ASYLUM (IRA), an infoshop in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Our foundation was inspired by woodblock print collectives in Southeast Asia, such as Pangrok Sulap, Taring Padi as well as Marginal. We have learned a lot about the skills and joys of collective printmaking from our friendship with these collectives. Although A3BC stood for “Anti-War”, “Anti-Nuclear power” and made artwork with such themes in the beginning, we now address a wider range of social justice issues with our woodblock prints.
