Environments: RMIT printmaking residency exhibition 
 
At the peak of summer each year, RMIT University School of Art Galleries and the 
School of Art Printmaking Studio invite seven artists to take part in a three-month 
artist residency program.  
 
The upcoming exhibition, Environments, will showcase the art practices of Tony 
Garifalakis, Anna Hoyle, Louisa Jenkinson, Cristina Palacios, Reko Rennie, 
Stephen Spurrier and Sophia Szilagyi.  
 
Through the disciplines of 
printmaking, painting, 
sculpture, photomedia and 
drawing, these established 
and emerging Australian 
artists will exhibit work which 
responds to the theme of 
constructed environments.  
 
From tongue-in-cheek 
glimpses of gym culture to 
filtered views of the sublime 
deep wood, this exhibition 
maps a location lodged 
between the natural, 
psychological and 
sociological worlds. 
 
Residency prints by these 
artists will be available for 
purchase by donation to the 
RMIT School of Art Galleries.
