Printmaking In Festival started at the second half of the 1990ies – the goal was to introduce newest explorations of printmaking in so called periphery – Pärnu – because this certain field of fine art is directly connected to technical base that was then considered to exist only in the capital of Estonia – Tallinn. Also, to hype graphic art, which in contemporary art context was seemingly OUT or in periphery (that’s why the name Printmaking IN).
During several years this festival has proven that the lack of professional print making equipment is not the biggest obstacle in making prints. There has been BODY-PRINTING, BAKING-PRINTS, SUITCASE-PRINTING etc…
The whole 2005 festival was dedicated to self made experimental printmaking machines, year 2006 held experiments from Xerox printing to branding bodies. Those activities have transformed this kind of traditional and somewhat boring art form into parade of experiments and creativity, where art reaches hand out to itself over it’s different forms and where apart form meetings of different generations, graphic schools and techniques, all forms of modern art meet – performance, sculpture, painting, audiovisual art, photo and digital art. The ancient headlines of printmaking – the line and reproducing – are actual in all other forms of art and afford to speak through the creativity not only to the line making and printing fanatics, but to everybody who is interested in the visual outputs of the world.
