On the occasion of the 9th edition of the Triennial of Contemporary Prints, MBAL has then invited printers and publishers to present a selection of works by artists who worked in close collaboration with them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STPI \u2013 Creative Workshop & Gallery<\/strong>, established since 2002 in Singapore, is a unique place in Asia that allows artists to conduct rich experiments on printing and paper. Niels Borch Jensen<\/strong>, who founded Borch Editions in Copenhagen in 1979, is considered one of the world\u2019s leading producers and publishers of graphic art and works with world-renowned artists. Finally, the Crown Point Press<\/strong> workshop, opened in San Francisco in 1962, offers artists the opportunity to engrave plates and use inks in exceptional conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Triennial is also an opportunity to commemorate Switzerland\u2019s strong interest in print making. A room is devoted to the Swiss Engraving Society<\/strong>, which celebrates its centenary in 2018. MBAL has been a member since 1976 and has therefore acquired many works made by Swiss and international artists that were commissionned by this Society. The exhibition presents a selection of prints made in the 21st<\/sup> century. In addition, a space is dedicated to our collection which presents several masterpieces owned by MBAL and rarely displayed to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, wishing to display research around new graphic technologies, a double carte blanche is given to the Center for Future Publishing<\/strong>, founded in 2017 by designer Demian Conrad and hosted by theGeneva School of Art and Design<\/strong>, as well as to American artist Penelope Umbrico<\/strong>, who was invited by MBAL to experiment in this unique laboratory. To complete this rich survey dedicated to contemporary print making, the museum commissioned graphic designer Anette Lenz<\/strong> to make a limited edition print. The work \u2013 a silkscreen printed in 200 copies \u2013 will be available in our bookshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition received the support of the Loterie Romande, the city of Le Locle, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des beaux-arts et du mus\u00e9e du Locle, the Fondation Bonh\u00f4te pour l\u2019art contemporain, the Fondation de Famille Sandoz, Swiss Life, the Fondation Erna et Curt Burgauer, Dr. Georg und Josi Guggenheim-Stiftung, Ernst und Olga Gubler-Habl\u00fctzel Stiftung and the Fondation Art en jeu. An interview with the artist Penelope Umbrico appears in the series \u201cCould you talk about\u2026\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Logo-Triennale-2018-1024x110.png\"){kind=logo}
