A Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Editions in the visual arts refers to the reproduction of copies or replicas of artworks made from an original work. The valuation of editioned art works is subject to the number of original works; from the artist’s owned proof , to limited versus open editions, and the potential future reproduction of prints. But how does this concept apply in today’s digital world, where reproductions can be instantly made and shared? “Rethinking Editions” brings together 15 different visual artists to examine this idea. We speak to the exhibition’s curator, Sharmin Parameswaran, and two of the featured artists.
