EMAIL FROM DAVIDA KIDD:
This is Davida Kidd from CANADA. I would really like to be involved in this conference as I missed the last one. I will be submitting a portfolio but would also welcome sitting on a panel if that worked out. Some of my thoughts can be viewed on the Printmaking at the Edge discussion forum from the last 2003 Krakow Triennial where I won the Grand Prix. (off line now unfortunately). Also some thoughts on "Exile" from the Tallinn Triennial....
http://www.triennial.ee/en/info/intrvjuud/davidakidd
One of my concerns is the continued dissolution of boundaries between specific disciplines these days. When art is more concept driven, the media and materials chosen are more determined by the idea. I have never considered myself just a printmaker and I think this is true of many artists that work in print. I feel I have enjoyed some benefits from the separation that the print medium has , due to the fact that prints for decades have been rolled up and mailed all over the world, but I have also been frustrated with the segregated status of the print that has kept some of the great International Competitions from enjoying the same status as the Venice Biennial, Documenta etc.. I guess these ideas address the question of where is the International Print Competition going, particularly now that many restrictions in terms of using traditional print mediums have been lifted. I have been given a solo exhibition at the National Museum in Krakow for 2006 where I have been encouraged to show in any medium. I am planning on including video, photography and digitally driven print pieces. Anyways...keep in touch and please keep me in mind for any panel discussions that you think I might fit in!
