Platemark
Our shared visual culture: the power of prints and multiplicity
Platemark series one looks at the art sector with a focus on prints and printmaking. Series two offers a history of visual culture in the West through prints and printmaking. Think of it as a combination of museum confidential and our relationship with the printed image.
