Coming to Light. Historical printing techniques

Bildhalle Amsterdam 2023

With works by Albarran Cabrera, Emily Bates, Jeffery Conley, Paul Cupido, Mika Horie, Douglas Mandry, and Naohiro Ninomiya

The group exhibition with Albarrán Cabrera (ES), Emily Bates (UK), Jeffrey Conley (US), Paul Cupido (NL), Mika Horie (JP),Douglas Mandry (CH) and Naohiro Ninomiya (JP) is dedicated to the broad range of print techniques in fine art photography. The special care of choosing the paper and developing techniques is evident for every of the exhibited artists. The spectrum includes early techniques from the 19th century, like cyanotypes by the Japanese artist Mika Horie or the analogue salt prints by Douglas Mandry as well as innovative new print techniques that combine historical techniques with a playful and experimental new approach – including pigment prints on gampi paper and gold leaf by the Spanish artist duo Albarrán Cabrera. Jeffrey Conley for instance is a master of print techniques: silver gelatin, platinum, or pigment prints on bamboo paper – all prints are made by hand with the greatest care and in-depth knowledge by the artist. Emily Bates who combines photograms of plants onto her analogue gelatine silver prints. Albarrán Cabrera personally handcraft their prints in their studio using a wide range of processes and materials either by inventing new techniques or by experimenting with established ones expanding their “photographic syntax”. The exhibition gives an insight in the importance of the careful handling with traditional to recent techniques and of the materiality and sensual experience of prints.
