The Art of Printmaking 5: Jessica Ramm and Nuno Sacramento

Taking place over 6 weeks in autumn/winter 2021 starting from 6 October, ‘The Art of Printmaking’ produced by Edinburgh Printmakers reflects back on our exhibitions programme during the summer festival period, and ahead to our forthcoming programming.
This episode features artist Jessica Ramm in conversation with Nuno Sacramento, the Director of Peacock Visual Arts Scotland.
Jessica Ramm trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Dundee (2009), specialising in mechanical sculpture. In 2014, she trained at Edinburgh College of Art, where she studied printmaking, material culture and sculpture, positioned within alternative economies. Her current projects include commissions to bring lumiere sculptures into public spaces and a printmaking-stunt riding performance working with a group of Glasgow based BMX riders. She is also part of an on-going research collaboration titled ‘Carpet Territory’ which explores fears of physical and ethical contagion. These fears flow from an awareness of the proliferating struggles associated with late capitalism and inherent contradictions we face whilst trapped in modes that command our complicity.
Nuno Sacramento is a Mozambiquean-born Portuguese curator, and the Director of Peacock Visual Arts (Scotland). Between 2010 and 2016 he was Director of the Scottish Sculpture Workshop. He is a graduate of DeAppel Foundation, Amsterdam, and has a PhD by practice in Visual Arts (Shadow Curating) from DJCAD, University of Dundee. In 2010, after introducing Shadow Curating to Deveron Arts, he co-wrote ARTOCRACY (Jovis) with curator Claudia Zeiske. In 2015, Nuno and collaborator Brett Bloom co-organised CAMP BREAKDOWN SCOTLAND and co-wrote Deep Mapping (Half Letter Press).
