Miguel Rivera is working at Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad i Göteborg, KKV, with Eric Saline, and students to explore different workflows between digital and analogue processes. Using CNC routers for carving, engraving complicated and precise imagery, fused with centuries old drypoint, copper plate etching and intaglio printmaking. The Vinyl plotter-cutter executing vector-based drawings, mixed with an old fashioned ruler, markers and pen drawings. Laser-engraving onto printed-surfaces, then stained with India ink. In the 21st century, the lines are blurred and a sense of appreciation for experimentation leads to exciting results!

Grafik i Väst (GiV) är en ideell organisation för grafiker och har till uppgift att ställa ut och sälja medlemmarnas konstverk, och initiera och stödja olika slags samarbete som syftar till att stärka situationen och förutsättningarna för konstgrafiken. Detta arbete medfinansieras av Region Västra Götaland.
Föreningen bildades hösten 1991 och under våren 1992 öppnade galleriet. 1996 hade vi vuxit ur våra lokaler på Västergatan och vi flyttade in på nuvarnade adress, Storgatan 20. Sedan dess har vi hunnit med otaliga projekt och samarbeten, förutom våra egna utställningar. Senaste åren har vi arbetat med kinesiska grafiker, som fått tillgång till flera grafiska verkstäder i Västra Götalandsregionen och från Litauen, vars grafik vi kunnat ställa ut på galleriet.
