Idea – process – message
…is the motto of this edition of MTG – Krakow 2012, International Print Network. It was conceived in order to re ect on graphic art in the contemporary world, and its engagement in current thinking, as well as artistic and social movements. Both general thoughts, and formal thoughts related directly to the graphic arts are within the scope of the proposed idea/concept, but impact is more important than historical distinctiveness. We are searching for a vibrant and responsive printmaking, which generates insights into the contemporary world.
Competition guidelines
The International Print Triennial Kraków 2012 competition is of an open character, and covers graphic art understood in a broad sense. Works created with classic graphic techniques, as well as with the use of the newest digital technology, authorial methods of copy creation, mixed media works and graphic installations may be submitted to the competition.
