FEATURED VIRTUAL

Engraving Workshop

SESC Pompeia engraving workshop, as part of this unit's workshops - since its origin - was conceived not only as a free and open physical space for the practices of graphic experiences, but also as a place for reflection and questioning of a work to be carried out in the field of visual arts.
As an introduction to the contents presented, it was proposed to each participant the possibility of establishing a link between a personal work project and the learning of engraving for the aesthetic intrinsic values to its language, techniques, procedures, practices and history in the West.
That is, the engraving and its drawing.
Origin.
Its origin in the ancestral act of cutting hard matter and the engraved object.
Engraved object as a depot, par excellence, of many messages throughout history, raw material of memory and updating that at some point in its course was perceived as a matrix and then intuited, imagined and used as a mold for reproduction and multiplication of those messages in other supports, thus appearing as novelty, and from then on, became known as print engraving. The cut as a trace. A powerful way to transmit knowledge through text and image, these prints were widely publicized and are also relevant as an expression of art, when associated with issues of aesthetics and artistic sense.
Proposing, however, an approach to engraving as an "original mean of expression", our work in this workshop hopes to offer each participant and those interested the opportunity to perform creative work by cultivating this expressive medium. Free and spontaneous work, contemplated by aesthetic experience, that is, through the awareness of this praxis.
The workshop is open to processes updating, to the invited artists, to the spontaneous contributions of the scholars who often visit us, as well as to the constant dialogue among the participants, this being the main and first mobile of this action and reason of this work.

COORDINATION AND ADVISORY

"My art talks about the feminine universe, about my dreams as a child, about the curious look kept in my memory, about the life in the countryside and the smell of wet soil, about the joy of living. I talk about the moments of loneliness, about looking at the immensity of the universe and beyond. I talk about the lived moments, about the non-lived ones, about the plots of the world, about the human being. Creating, for me, it's a necessity."
