Publish or Perish! exhibition (Tokyo Geidai Printmaking cohort) — group view

This entry documents the 2019 Publish or Perish! presentation at the Graphica Creativa Triennial in Jyväskylä, Finland, in which the Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) Printmaking Department was given a country-focus showcase. The group view shows the cohort's contributions installed together — a mix of mokuhanga, intaglio, lithography, and silkscreen reflecting the dual-lab structure of the department under Michael W. Schneider and Seiichirō Miida. Wang Muyi's work appears here alongside fellow Geidai printmakers, and the installation reads as a survey of contemporary Japanese print practice rather than a single autonomous sheet: works are typically hung in unframed grids or sequences on white gallery walls, allowing comparison of paper weights, registration, and matrix language across techniques. The Geidai program traces its lineage to Tetsurō Komai, the central figure of postwar Japanese intaglio, and the cohort view records how that pedagogical inheritance has expanded into hybrid, mixed-media print thinking. For Wang Muyi specifically, the inclusion marks an early international exhibition credit and situates her practice within the cross-cultural traffic between Chinese, Japanese, and European print communities.
