Visual education was one of the battle horses of the avant-gardes of the 20th century. A century later, an extensive visual education is still more necessary than ever, to broaden the gaze, which formal education does not address. Photobooks are for any reader interested in a story with an important visual component. And if, in addition to learning to read them, we venture to produce them?
This workshop focuses on 3 key stages in the edition of a photobook:
→ the design with Natalia Troitiño
→ the narrative with Fosi Vegue
→ binding with Isabel Zambelli
It is aimed at creators who are looking for new tools to transfer their photographic projects to the book format. It is advisable to have a project in process to work with their own material.
SIGN UP (this workshop is full)
SCHEDULE AND PROGRAM
→ First session: Thursday, June 20 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Graphic design in the arts and culture sector with Natalia Troitiño
Knowing the development processes of a non-self-managed artistic project will help us to better understand the relationship between the different actors involved in the process and the role played by both the artist and the designer.
→ Second session: Friday, June 21 from 5 to 8 p.m.
The narrative in the photobook with Fosi Vegue
The potential and complexity of photography as a communicative language within the photobook are infinite. Also inexhaustible are the ways in which we can arrange the images in it, malleable, itinerant and alive, to the point of emitting and deciphering visual messages.
*In this session it will be important to bring the printed photos, as Fosi Vegue will make a viewing of the work of each attendee.
→ Third session: Saturday June 22 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Multipurpose stitching for fanzines and models with Isabel Zambelli
We will learn simple and fast binding techniques for fanzines and models without adhesives and avoiding staples, with pamphlet stitching, chain stitching, Japanese stitching, rubber bands and cuts.
