Large-format Jetrix print technology will be used in a major photographic exhibition running 14 April-6 May.
Photo Oxford is a bi-annual festival of contemporary and historic photography with exhibitions and installations indoor, outdoor and online. The festival also includes a series of live talks, tours, workshops and participatory events. Prints created for various exhibitions, in particular the Open Call exhibition with winning images selected from over 800 global submissions, will be produced by Senecio Digital on a Jetrix LXi7 LED-UV flatbed printer. The images will be shown in a group exhibition in The Yard at Modern Art Oxford. The winning sequences and singles will also be featured on the Photo Oxford website and through Instagram takeovers.
Inktec MD Joey Kim said of the move: “We are absolutely delighted to be supporting this festival. Obviously, there is the association that many of the pieces exhibited are being produced on a Jetrix printer but, more importantly, this is an extensive event celebrating photographic art which is right on our doorstep in Oxfordshire. For us, it was also a natural fit to get specifically involved with the Open Call competition.”
Photo Oxford’s artistic director, Alex Schneidman added: “The diversity of photography which is entered into the Open Call competition is always incredible. It is an exciting element of Photo Oxford which as organisers we love, as it broadens out the reach and appeal, while also reflecting everything we want to be about – transcending language barriers, bringing together communities and facilitating storytelling. We are delighted that Jetrix powered by InkTec is going to be involved.”
“We have worked with Schneidman on a number of projects and are thrilled to be collaborating with him again. While we offer myriad printing services, this work reflects our ability to work with award winning artists and fine art. Photography has always been an area we are passionate about and so with the various exhibitions involved, Photo Oxford enables us to take what can be achieved printing wise to another level,” ended Senecio Digital.
