‘Greetings from Silverside’ encompasses four series of screen-printed images made in the past six months. Loosely focused around a fictitious ex-resort town called ‘Silverside’ these images document a world where armored security vehicles dominate the streets, the growl of aircon units fills the air and Naturists fight a losing battle for legitimacy. There's not a lot to celebrate in Silverside, but despite it all a perverse optimism persists.
Malcolm Smith is an artist from Sydney who now lives in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He is one of the founders of Krack! a printmaking studio that focuses on innovative editioned works from the Asia Pacific Region. The works in this exhibition were all hand printed by the artist.
