Wintermester 2009
Study Abroad Program

For the first time, ´ace received a group of eleven students from the University of Texas, to carry out a Study Program -in the curriculum of said university- in a foreign institution and as part of their academic curriculum.

The group was coordinated by the artist and Professor MIchelle Murillo, who was an artist-in-residence at ´ace in 2008.

The group of students participated in intense days in the de’ace workshops taking classes with our masterprinter on different graphic techniques and printing techniques. The students edited an exchange portfolio with the work of each Program participant as closure and testimony of the study trip.

The program of activities was completed with a last intense three-hour day, in which we had the visit of the Argentine artist Lux Linder, with whom they carried out a critique and clinic of the work. The program also included visits to workshops of other artists and students in Buenos Aires and a visit to the Lux Lindner workshop, thus being able to approach the work of the outstanding Argentine artist.

Tours of the main places and neighborhoods of the city, such as El Abasto, Puerto Madero, Recoleta, La Boca, Palermo, Belgrano, Chinatown, were planned within the program.

They visited the Recoleta Cultural Center, MNBA, MALBA, Enrique Larreta Museum, Tigre Museum, PROA Foundation, among others.

They enjoyed a night of show at Señor Tango, in Puerto Madero.

They also took a boat trip through the Tigre Delta and a typical Argentine ranch in San Antonio de Areco, Province of Buenos Aires, Estancia La Cinacina, to learn more about the culture of our country.
