Migrating Images
Claudia Guixot

Claudia Guixot, Spanish artist winner of the Fundación ́ace Award in the last edition of Open Portfolio-Bilbao 2024, arrived in Buenos Aires thanks to the collaboration of the CCEBA. On Wednesday, May 14, as the final activity of her residency in the  ́acePIRAR | Artists-in-Residence International  Program, we will have a workshop and talk with the artist.

In a context where the digital dominates our daily lives, as well as many of the ways of producing and perceiving images, this workshop proposes a pause to explore inkjet transfer as a material, technical and poetic gesture. We will focus on the printed image as an expanded process: a practice that overflows the limits of traditional printmaking, where the graphic is redefined from the tactile, the hybrid and the experimental.

DESCRIPTION
Did you know that you can take your images to new territories, beyond paper? This workshop invites you to discover the creative potential of inkjet transfer: an accessible technique that allows you to print on non-traditional media such as medium gel and varnish, generating unique experimental results.

We will do demonstrations with inkjet printers, low toxicity and easily accessible materials, to explore a methodology not widely used in the art world beyond its commercial use in design and decoration. In this space, the transfer becomes an expressive resource with which to expand your work, break the limits of traditional printmaking and join the language of expanded print media. Within a context of prevalence of digital media in our daily lives, this workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the tactile, the material and the processual to transform your images into pieces that speak with another texture, another body and another voice.
