During the summer of 2020, the unique circumstances of the unfolding pandemic led to an ongoing collaboration between the printmaking division at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø and Jillian Ross, a master printer at David Krut Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa from 2003 through 2020.
Exploring the possibilities of working in photogravure allowed Ross and Kentridge to continue their creative relationship from afar. Contact was made with Steven Dixon, artist and technical demonstrator in the Department of Art and Design at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø, and an expert in the production of copperplate photogravure. Over the last four summers, Ross and Dixon have worked on print projects for William Kentridge, including two large-scale photogravure prints which are among the largest ever made.
In addition to the work with Kentridge, Ross has expanded the group of artists she is working with to include South African artists Puleng Mongale and Cinthia Sifa Mulanga, and Canadian artist Wally Dion, each of whom has been able to explore their work using photogravure through her collaborative efforts.
Oh to Believe in Another World: South African—Canadian Collaboration in Print, brings together a broad selection of artworks made through the process of photogravure including works by Faculty, students, and alumni of the ß÷ßäÉçÇø as well as artists from across Canada and South Africa.
