Graham McDougal

Graham McDougal

Wednesday 21 May
12.45 – 1.30pm
Cell Block Theatre

Graham McDougal’s work and exhibitions begin with the printed page, which he approaches as a site, and source for research and studio production. His Art Forum presentation will discuss how ephemeral printed-matter, collected within his studio and sourced from rare books held within public collections, converge to influence recent work. The work is often realized as installation, painting, prints and artists books, and is grounded in histories of abstraction, collage, photography and emerging digital technologies.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, McDougal studied at Cumbria College of Art and Design and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, before earning an MFA from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. His work has been exhibited recently at STNDRD, St. Louis; Regina Rex, NY; Providence College Galleries; the Print Center NY; Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Chicago; Fjord, Philadelphia; Firstdraft and KNULP on Gadigal / Sydney. His prints and multiples have been included in projects at the Print Center Philadelphia, Printed Matter, NY and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has participated in the Nesnadny + Schwartz Visiting Curator Program at the MCA, Cleveland, and residencies at the Byrdcliffe Art Colony, Woodstock, NY and Kala Art Institute, Berkeley, California. He is currently a co-director at Print Club Ltd. a print publisher and art consultancy based in California and Sydney and has taught within the art programs at Cornell University, NY, Oberlin College, Ohio, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Tufts University, Boston, the University of California Davis and NAS.
