- This multi-component submission on the pioneering Renaissance printmaker Marcantonio Raimondi includes the landmark exhibition at the Whitworth, The University of Manchester, co-curated by Wouk and David Morris (30 September 2016 - 23 April 2017) and the accompanying catalogue Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael and the Image Multiplied (Manchester University Press, 2016). The first exhibition on Raimondi for over thirty five years and the first ever in the UK, it featured unknown examples of the artist’s prints discovered by Wouk in the previously un-catalogued Spencer Album in The John Rylands library.
The project began in June 2015. With support of the British Academy, Wouk brought together an international team of experts for a workshop that served as a catalyst for the exhibition’s collaborative research goals. Wouk oversaw development and editing of the exhibition catalogue, which features contributions by leading scholars alongside entries by University of Manchester students. He wrote the introduction and the 12,000-word essay ‘From Death to Print’ on Marcantonio’s collaboration with Raphael on the print Il Morbetto or ‘the little plague’ (pp. 46-65). Wouk also co-authored the volume’s introduction (10-11) and co-authored ‘Biographical notes on Marcantonio Riamondi and the publisher Il Baviera’ (12-17) . In addition, he sole authored eleven catalogue entries and edited the remaining fifty-four entries.
The catalogue, the exhibition, and its public programming reflect the actively interdisciplinary nature of the project and Wouk’s ambition to bridge his research with University-based teaching, curation and public engagement. He taught two University of Manchester seminars around the exhibition working with co-curator Morris and embedding BA and MA students in all aspects of the development and design of the exhibition. Wouk and Morris negotiated loans from the British Museum, Royal Collections at Windsor Castle, Victoria and Albert Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum, and Stanford University’s Cantor Museum.
