In celebration of OAG’s inauguration, Galerie Annexe presents four group exhibitions by regionally-based artists. These exhibitions highlight the major themes in the expanded OAG’s first exhibition, Àdisòkàmagan / Nous connaître un peu nous-mêmes / We’ll all become stories, namely bodies, technology, mapping, and bridging.
Print Culture highlights an emerging print scene that is developing in Ottawa-Gatineau. The printed image remains prevalent in contemporary culture; in an increasingly digital era, these regional artists choose to integrate analog printmaking techniques into their image-making practice. The selected artworks emphasize the varied forms of printmaking used by these artists, such as silk screening, woodcut and etching, as well as the tools and processes they use in the production and design of their work.
This exhibition is a collaboration between Possible Worlds (708G Somerset St W) and Galerie Annexe (Ottawa Art Gallery). Works will be shown at both locations and we encourage the public to visit both sites to experience the whole of the exhibition.
A second reception at Possible Worlds will be occurring on June 22nd and in line with the medium’s history of accessibility and social engagement, a series of print workshops will be hosted during the length of the exhibition.

Melanie Yugo and Stephanie Germano
