Davida Kidd. Between the sublime and the subliminal

The exhibition included works from the Base Imprints project which is perhaps most famililar to the Cracovian public.

The most important of these prints is the 2003 Triennial award winner print entitled Navigator (2001). This gloomy and melancholic work was a real discovery for the jury of the competition whose subject was Printmaking on the Edge.

The revolution visible in Kidd’s work at the time was not only a technological one – the work is digital print representing a method which has been supplanting traditional printmaking techniques – but it was also, and perhaps most importantly, concerned with the state of our human consciousness on the threshold of the 21st century.

The derisive sence of humor and the omnipresent anxiety which permeate the works in this project constitute a certain correspondence to the sence of fear, danger and lack of anchorage in the modern technological civilization.
