Farrera 2024

ESTAMPACIONS FLORALS

DE 1 JULIOL A 5 JULIOL 2024

La naturalesa de Farrera ens inspirarà en la realització d’un petit llibre acordió, estampant un mínim de 3 imatges sobre una fulla única i 3 plecs. Així mateix, imprimirem les mateixes planxes sobre una tela quadrada que cadascú personalitzarà al seu gust.

Opera dei pupi

Marzo 2024: ho il piacere di annunciarvi l'uscita del mio ultimo lavoro, Opera dei pupi, ispirato al teatro di marionette affermatosi in Sicilia a metà del 1800 e proclamato patrimonio immateriale dell'umanità dall'Unesco nel 2008. 

15 illustrazioni a 1, 2 e 3 colori per un'edizione di 12 copie stampate a torchio manuale su 3 tipi di carta diversi (Somerset, Drap, Magnani). Il progetto comprende inoltre una serie di ritratti delle 10 marionette più conosciute. 

Opera dei pupi, un tributo alle mie radici e alla cultura popolare siciliana, verrà promosso da questo post in poi sul mio account Instagram.

Grazie se lo seguirete!

Els juliols a Farrera...

Este año volví al centro de residencias artísticas Centre d'Art i Natura de Farrera (Lérida) para ofrecer el taller de grabado "Impressions de la Natura", un monográfico sobre la técnica de la plancha perdida. Ha sido un curso muy intensivo y realmente especial, gracias a la "familia" de Farrera, siempre tan hospitalaria, y a los participantes: todos muy talentosos y llenos de energía. ¡Gracias Farrera, fins a la propera!

Languages in motion

Very happy of my official collaboration with the University of Exeter and its Centre for Translating Cultures directed by Dr Eliana Maestri and her Staff.

Dr Eliana Maestri’s research focuses on the interplay between translation and text-based art. She works in collaboration with artist Valeria Brancaforte on representations of languages as optical experiences. Brancaforte produced artist book “Languages in motion” to celebrate the 2019 Exeter Translation Festival.

Thank you Exeter!!

Pocket Herbarium / Herbari de butxaca

Join us this July, at the Can Farrera, Pyrenees, for the intensive printmaking workshop "Pocket Herbarium”, which we'll make by using both the materials that nature offers us - such as leaves and flowers - and alternative and recycling materials.

Aquest juliol al Can Farrera, al Pirineu, proposem el taller intensiu de gravat "Herbari de butxaca": fabricarem un petit llibre a partir dels materials que la natura ens ofereix - com ara fulles i flors - i amb materials alternatius i de reciclatge.
