Claudia Guixot
Light of Buenos Aires

21.04.25 16.05.25

Claudia Guixot, Spanish artist and winner of the Fundación´ace Award in the 2024 edition of Open Portfolio-Bilbao, arrived in Buenos Aires in April 2025 thanks to the collaboration of CCEBA to carry out a Production Residency within the framework of ´acePIRAR | International Artist Residency Program. A visual artist, her practice focuses on inkjet transfer processes to give skin to digital images generated from a scanner. As part of her residency project, Claudia worked in Buenos Aires on the continuation of the graphic process that conforms her doctoral thesis, in which she transfers images of light captured with scanners to non-traditional formats such as latex. Within this framework, Claudia researched local materials and the light of this region of the globe, exploring the possibilities offered by different combinations of these material aspects. Also, during her time at the ´ace studio, Claudia gave a workshop called Migrating Images, which was free for the public and aimed at artists, designers, and visual enthusiasts who want to bring their digital images to the physical plane.

In Claudia’s own words, her time at ´ace was “a month full of stimuli, discoveries, and learning, both inside and outside the workshop. That experience influenced me by showing me that I could adapt, that I could create even in the midst of the unknown, and prove to myself the courage and bravery I have after traveling thousands of miles. I felt a mixture of excitement and uncertainty about the processes in the first few weeks, which were complicated by not finding the materials that best suited the methodology. Finally, good results were achieved, and I took with me an improvement in the technique of transfer on varnish, reaffirming that the processes created a priori are in continuous transformation.”

ARTIST STATEMENT

In order to observe and capture images, the intervention of light is necessary, a factor that makes it possible to retain in memory the information that surrounds reality. Capturing light starts from an unstable source, dematerialized by the digital world, which processes the data that is transferred and translated so that it can be understood through the screen. As Juan Martín Prada points out, the digital image is reproduced at the moment of each of its viewings, that is, there is no viewing of the work without a simultaneous reproduction on the viewer’s own screen. That is why the only way to give stability to the image is to fix it on a support, give it body and weight, granting it a physical space to give it a chance to be revisited outside the digital space, through the artistic practice of the transfer process using inkjet printing systems created by the artist herself.

The Unseen Between Us
Artists in dialogue

14.05.25

This trio of exhibitions brings into focus that which escapes the eye but profoundly shapes our shared realities: the invisible. Whether it emerges through electromagnetic frequencies, silenced memories, or affective tensions, the unseen becomes a site of encounter, friction, and resonance.

These exhibitions explore the invisible threads—emotional, historical, or symbolic—that shape our relationships and perceptions. Through distinct yet interconnected approaches, the artists reveal what usually remains hidden: the residue of memory, the tension of distance, the silence of what is not said. Together, their works invite us to contemplate what binds us beyond the visible, in the shifting space where intimacy, absence, and transformation reside.


In the Políglota Room, Alicja Panasiewicz (a Polish artist who collaborated with Adam Panasiewicz) presented her site-specific installation My Personal Cloud, composed of a floating object-based piece, a video, and graphic works created using various techniques during her stay at ´ace.

Claudia Guixot (a Spanish artist and recipient of the 2024 Fundación´ace–Open Portfolio FIG Bilbao Award, present thanks to the collaboration with CCEBA—Centro Cultural de España en Buenos Aires) showcased the results of her exploration of light and materiality produced during her residency. Additionally, prior to the exhibition opening, Claudia led a workshop titled Migrating Images, in which the artist and PhD in Arts shared the technique she developed as part of her doctoral research.

Ana Dulce Collados (Argentina) inaugurated her intervention in the Carapantallas Project, marking the second intervention of the year. Using simple technological elements and precarious integrated circuits, Ana Dulce proposed a participatory installation in which the audience can manipulate the sound and light emitted by the carapantallas through touch.

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.

Migrating Images
Claudia Guixot

14.05.25

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.

5 Hours Behind
Claudia Guixot

14.05.25

On May 14th, 2025, Claudia Guixot inaugurated her exhibition entitled 5 Hours Behind as part of the ´aceNITE event, which also featured works by Alicja & Adam Panasiewicz (Poland) and Ana Dulce (Argentina, who received a fellowship to participate in the Carapantallas Project). Present at ´ace thanks to the collaboration with CCEBA and due to the award she received at the Open Portfolio FIG Bilbao 2024, Claudia Guixot presented to the public the results of the exploration in matters of light and materials that she produced during her residency. In addition, in the run-up to the opening, Claudia gave a workshop at the ´ace studio entitled Migrating Images, in which the artist shared the technique she developed in her doctoral research thesis.

The exhibition text that Claudia wrote for her exhibition, which took over the Dialogue Space and the Central Hall of the ´ace studio, was written by the artist herself and described her practice as follows: “In order to observe and capture images, the intervention of light is necessary, a factor that makes it possible to retain in memory the information that surrounds reality. Capturing light starts from an unstable source, dematerialized by the digital world, which processes the data that is transferred and translated so that it can be understood through the screen.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
