Fundación´ace Award
@Open Portfolio, Bilbao

Following the partnership that Fundación´ace maintains with FIG Bilbao and the Open Portfolio, and thanks to the collaboration with the CCEBA–Centro Cultural de España in Buenos Aires, in October 2024 Andrés Knob (Executive Coordinator of Fundación´ace) traveled to Bilbao as part of the Jury of the Open Portfolio to choose and award the Fundación´ace prize to one of the 16 selected artists.

Claudia Guixot (Valencia, Spain) was the awarded artist for the expanded print media work she presented during the encounter: part of her doctoral thesis in which she transfers images of light captured with scanners to non-traditional formats such as latex. As part of her residency project in the framework of her time at the ´ace studio, Claudia gave a workshop called “Migrating Images”, totally free of charge and oriented to artists, designers and curious visual creators who want to take their digital images to the physical plane. During these five weeks in the studio, the artist was able to develop her technique by adapting it to the local context of Buenos Aires.
