Villa dei Cedri Museum is hosting Edition VFO (Verein für Originalgraphik) to mark the Zurich-based association's 75th anniversary. The “PRINT AS A BATTLEFIELD” project showcases the diversity and rich creativity of contemporary printmaking. Still too often dismissed as of minor significance, the medium is today distinguished by its exploration of forms, supports and techniques – neons, banners, thermoformed objects, laser engraving, 3D printing and virtual reality. It is also, increasingly, a front line in campaigns on such social issues as women's emancipation and the interaction between humanity and the environment in the Anthropocene.

Exhibition curated by David Khalat in collaboration with the Museo Villa dei Cedri.
