- As part of their 50th anniversary programme, Edinburgh Printmakers, Scotland’s leading print workshop invited Logue to research their extensive print archive (ca. 10,000 items) and to curate an exhibition focused on the archival holdings of the institution. Additionally, a selection of posters, catalogues, photographs and other material associated with the artists and the interpretation of their works was displayed alongside the prints.
Logue selected artists integral to establishing printmaking as a fine-art practice in Scotland and beyond. Within that selection, she chose works that evidenced the potential of printmaking to produce multiple images, offering artists the freedom to experiment with mark-making, composition and colour. Prompted by knowledge of the necessarily collaborative relationship between the artist and master printmaker, Logue selected examples which, through the directness of the drawing and painterly marks, suggested works-in-progress and demonstrated the artistic process. A section of the exhibition focused on how digital techniques are combined with more traditional printmaking techniques.
The exhibition included works by John Bellany, Liz Douglas, Hideo Furuto, William Gear, Elspeth Lamb, Andrew Mackenzie and Ian McCulloch. Logue wrote an introductory essay for the exhibition and presented her curatorial research into the history of Scottish printmaking at the Printmaking in Scotland Symposium, an event to share current scholarship and research on printmaking in Scotland from the eighteenth-century to the present day. The two-day symposium was sponsored by Scottish Society for Art History, Edinburgh Printmakers, The National Galleries of Scotland and The University of St Andrews in February 2017.
