Go Block:

A manifesto of unconventional
printmaking from the context of
printmakers in Malaysia.
Go Block Vol. 7 is a continuation from a ‘nerve war’ directed to the public
towards an artistic practice which needs to be competitive in order to
spread a doctrine of understand that will spread wider or reach bigger
crowds to ensure the Sustainability of Printmaking in the world full of
potentials to fulfil the worldwide exploration objective.

1. Is another Go Block exhibition necessary?

What is the actual situation of printmaking art in Malaysia


which has led to Go Block’s multiple exhibitions being held
since more than a decade ago? I would like to highlight these
issues to the public:

Were the last six (6) series of Go Block exhibitions insufficient?


To me, this is not the matter of them being sufficient or not.
In fact, what matters most was the issue of resilience among
printmaking artists in Go Block to create a phenomenon for
local visual art industry. Even though some have perceived
printmaking art is benefitting from technicality and outcome
from other disciplines; but this is called an expansion of
understanding which is made limited by a term known as
“convention”. Go Block is offering an extension of meaning
again to printmaking which is of viewed from the process –
carving or cutting the surface of a block - roll off-set ink on
the surface of the block – printing on paper – repeat until add
editions are produced. By feeding the audience with non-
conventional printmaking, more questions will arise among
the audience with regard to understanding and exploring the
printmaking itself. Hence, Go Block must continue to have
exhibitions in the art industry to ensure the ‘doctrine’ which
is related to an expansive discipline of printmaking could
consistently reach the art society.
Is printmaking still relevant in visual art today? The conflict in printmaking and move to the production of printmaking
