The concept of the exhibition is based on the historical significance of printmaking as an art form. Images created in various printmaking techniques help to better understand the meaning of the text through visual imagery. In the pre-photographic era, these were used everywhere — in magazines, newspapers, books, on postage stamps, banknotes and so on. There is a reason for the expression “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Today, printmaking has not disappeared anywhere, its significance in art and design prevails.
The exhibition “Message” invites you to discover the diverse world of graphic arts. The viewer will encounter the creative possibilities and approaches of printmaking in works by students, alumni and lecturers of the Department of Media Design, completed in the past four years. In the eyes of the younger generation, the printmaking techniques that have been used for centuries have not been exhausted either. Consequently, the overview brought to the exhibition hall seems both classic and novel at the same time.
The organizers dedicate this exhibition to the late graphic artist and lecturer at Pallas, Ardo Sägi (1964-2025), whose works are also exhibited. A discussion panel introducing his life and work will take place as part of the exhibition. More information about the event will soon be made available on the social media channels of the Gallery Pallas and the Department of Media Design.
