Workshop: Portable graphic objects
Hélio Fervenza
am 19. - 20.02.2019, Ort: Besprechungsraum der Druckgrafik
– The purpose of this workshop is for each participant to create a project (a sketch or a model/prototype) of a portable graphic object to be printed later, which should be multiple and small in size, so as to be carried in a pocket, hat, in clothing, on the body, etc.
– The object’s design may employ whatever technique or medium desired for the reproduction or printing: stamps, photography, computer, laser printing, photocopying, printmaking, screen printing, etc. Different materials may be used to be printed on (paper, wood, acrylic, fabric, metal, glass, etc.), and already printed materials may also be used (appropriation), such as paper or box packaging or wrapping, fabrics, advertising material, magazines, newspapers, etc.
– The participants will provide an artistic proposition for the object’s use, which could be physical, mental, imaginary, individual, social, etc.
– Depending on the time available for the workshop and the techniques used, the object may be printed during the workshop.
