On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 5 pm, we invite you to the MGBS for a guided tour of The Renaissance of Intaglio Printing exhibition with the authors of the exhibition, members of the Sreda v sredo art collective.
The central mission of Sreda v sredo (Žiga Artnak, Urban Cerjak and Matic Flajs) is therefore to reintroduce printmaking as an independent artistic expression, with special emphasis on intaglio printing. This traditional, demanding technique, which involves processes such as etching, drypoint, aquatint and vernis mou, is nowadays, in their opinion, increasingly rarely found in contemporary artistic production. The members of the collective are therefore consciously preserving it and combining it with the media of photography, illustration, graffiti and typography. Through exhibitions, artistic interventions and workshops, they strive to broaden the understanding of printmaking techniques to a wider circle of people – both artists and the general public – who interact less frequently with such processes. This ambition has also informed the exhibition The Renaissance of Intaglio Printing, which presents a selection of prints made with their largest ever zinc-plate formats, alongside a short video detailing the intaglio printing technique.
