ARTIST TALKS:
Une sorte de Rendez-vous
by Luis Chenche
Luis Chenche will speak about his works and the importance of the encounter in his artistic practice. He translates his experiences of walking through the city and capturing brief situations and particular spaces with displaced utility values to different media such as paintings, drawings, installations, photographs and sculpture objects. Chenche has been exploring the concept and ideas of ephemeral and "threshold" of what lies in a state of ruins in contemporary society.
The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts: Making and Experiencing Sculpture
by Rosalyn Driscoll
Visual artist Rosalyn Driscoll spent a decade making tactile sculpture and investigating the nature of touch and the role of the body in the visual experience. Her writing on the subject will be published by Bloomsbury Press this December in a book titled The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts: Making and Experiencing Sculpture. She will read from the book and show images of her tactile work.
Painting on Clay
by Henrietta MacPhee
Intriguing combinations, scenes of everyday life and heartfelt metaphors for living, Henrietta MacPhee will talk about the stories that trigger her work and the painting and classical mythology that influences her. Her love of clay, which is having a revival in popularity today and the distinctive techniques she uses to paint on clay and playfully connect the 2D/3D world.
Bust
by Dalia Mikonyte
Dalia will screen few parts of video from “Bust” - project to reflect and integrate the artist's own serious illness - stage 3 breast cancer, which has resulted in creative and emotional awakening. The title of the project "Bust" refers to the bust - [French buste <lot. bustum - tombstone] - a sculpture form or a woman's breast. In Lithuanian, bust is the wake-up call. In addition to traditional photographic techniques, this work uses photogrammetry and scanography, as well as medical imaging-scanning techniques such as X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Womenʼs Sexuality in a Patriarchal Society
by Maria Mohonea
Maria's practice aims to spark conversation and debate around some of the complex and divisive issues that define modern society. Recently, this has led to a series exploring feminism and sexuality, with a focus on the the ongoing cultural practice of female genital mutilation. Worldwide inequality is a fact that should be addressed in todayʼs society. Using feminism as a visual language through central core imagery allows me to explore womenʼs sexuality in a patriarchal society from cases of abuse as female genital mutilation, the division of sexuality in genders, which can be used in order to solve different critical issues in gender equality. The representation of central core imagery is used as a powerful symbol of female identity and by creating art that sends a message regarding womenʼs sexuality and rights in a patriarchal society, the work itself tries to make a statement by addressing cultural power.
Building Community Through Printmaking
by Robynn Smith
This talk examines Print Day and May and other community printmaking actions initiated by artists on three continents. Print Day in May, founded in California in 2007, is an annual, global event that celebrates printmaking and has built a community of tens of thousands of printmakers in over 60 countries. Every year on the first Saturday in May, printmakers all over the world do what they love; make prints. An artist working alone in the Canadian woods, large, festive groups of printmakers in Australia, California college teachers and their students silk screening t-shirts in support of the teachers union, Venezuelan printmakers taking a day to make art in the midst of chaos, an Eritrean man making exquisitely detailed relief prints at his local community center. All of these printmakers take the time to make prints, post their images, appreciate the images and techniques of others, engage in cross cultural dialog initiated through a passion for seeing and making. A community is built.
