An open submission exhibition which aimed to give an opportunity for artists working within the discipline of print, mediums and techniques to show large scale works, one dimension of the work had to be at least one meter in length.

The exhibition was open to artists working within the perimeters of print living in England, Scotland, Wales and selected by Bruce McLean. 19 artists work was selected from a submission of 133.

Basia Muslewska. Tom Pearman. Rachel Pearson. Urbano . Andrew Sneddon. Melissa Timms. John Utting. Pak Keung Wan

We were delighted that such a wide variety of works were submitted and included new ways of working in the area of print. The works range from computer generated images to silk screen printing on supports as varied as canvas, paper and steel.

Bruce McLean is one of the most important artists of his generation. He first came to notice in the late 1960s as a sculptor re-thinking the possibilities of three-dimensional work in terms of form, scale and permanence. In 1972 McLean 'gave up art' and took to live performance and pose; tackling important social issues and art world pretensions alike with an energetic wit. 'In the mid- 1970s he turned to painting and rapidly established himself as an international figure, developing a brilliant and unique figurative manner. In the 1980s he added painting and a dazzling output of ceramics, sculpture, sculpture-furniture, artist's books, prints and design commissions. He is now the Head of Printmaking at the Slade School of Art, London.
