Live Editions: Jillian Ross Print

For this exhibition, Remai Modern’s Connect Gallery will be transformed into a working print studio. Jillian Ross Print will showcase the editioning of their latest collaboration with artist William Kentridge – a large-scale and highly complex photogravure series consisting of over 30 plates. This exhibition will explore and celebrate the significance of Ross’s work as a collaborative printmaker in the production of the yet unpublished series by this internationally renowned South African artist. 

Live Editions will also demonstrate Ross’ collaboration with artist Wally Dion during an intensive two-week residency in the gallery. Jillian Ross Print began working with Dion in 2022 on the artist’s first printmaking work. Ross and Dion will showcase the experimental and technical aspects of developing a work together, which brings together diverse elements of Dion’s practice including drawing, painting, sculpture and textile.

The exhibition includes recently published works by Jillian Ross Print with a focus on Kentridge’s Studio Life Gravures series created in response to COVID lockdown, the short film A Guided Tour of Etching by Joanna Dudley and William Kentridge, and Dion’s Prairie Braids.
