Danni McGrath

Danni McGrath is an artist and screen printer whose work is concerned with the potential social, emotional and cultural value of mass produced printed items such as posters, flyers, zines, business cards, newsletters and merchandise. In her practice, McGrath positions print in a supporting role to other art forms, frequently working as a collaborator, “master” printer, publisher, co-ordinator and service provider. In these activities labour becomes a key material of her work, on the same level as paper and ink.

McGrath has shown her work in gallery and alternative spaces throughout Australia such as the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (Hatched National Graduate Exhibition 2014), Camp Doogs Music and Arts Festival (various locations 2014-2019), and This Is Not Art Festival (Newcastle, 2018). She has worked on collaborative publishing projects Semi-Decent Street Press (Perth 2014-2015) and Cactus Journal Issue 1 (2015), and has had collaborative writing published in Un Magazine and Art&Australia (with Anna Dunnill).
