Martyn, Frank and the TASIS Artists Are Back

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…
We’ve had a bit of all that in the past few days but it didn’t slow down the art studets and professors from The American School in Switzerland (TASIS). Twelve students from Italy, Turkey, Mexico, the USA, Russia, Afghanistan, UK, and France have come to Maureen’s studio for an intensive five-day introduction to solarplate printmaking.
Art professor Martyn Dukes and photography professor Frank Long have returned this year with another crop of young artists and photographers. Some of the photographers were asking themselves what they were doing in a printmaking course, but when they saw the first prints made by tracing over photographs on acetates, burning them on photosensitive plates and putting the plates through an etching press on beautiful paper, they quickly changed their minds.
Here’s the first snapshots from day one. Tomorrow we’ll take a look at some of the work they’ve done.

English Printmaker, Spanish Fisherman, Village Up in Arms

Our video/cineasta friend, Juan Carlos Romera, has taken advantage of the new YouTube service to upload the complete version of “Bive,” a 38-minute short film that he made in 2005. In that film I play “Maureen,” an English printmaker who falls in love with a Spanish fisherman. The film is essentially about the storm it causes in a little fishing village on the coast of Almería province.
We had such a great time doing it that I decided that in my next encarnation I want to be an actress. Here’s the link to see it (for free) on the off chance that you might find it amusing:
Mike did a story on the making of “Bive” (Printmaking Makes the Movies) and published it here on World Printmakers.

Steam Roller Art Comes to Granada

Brian Barry of Cork Printmakers is promoting a three-dayfestival of steam-rollered linocuts in Granada this year (place and date to be announced).
Irish printmaker, Brian Barry, the member of Cork Printmakers who participated in the organization Ireland’s first giant-prints-pressed-with-a-steamroller event, has arrived in Granada with his portable street-festival giant-linocut show. Having spent the past few weeks contacting and organizing local artists he now has enough participants and has ordered big, 80×190 cm., artist’s linoleums. As soon as they arrive the Granada artists will begin carving their images into the linos, which will then be inked with big paint rollers and laid down under paper or fabric to have the image trasferred by means of a standard road-works steam roller. Here’s a link to the new Impresiones Gigantes website, and a video of a similar event staged in Missoula, Montana last year.
Sounds like a lot of fun. We’ll keep you posted.

I love this time of year. Yesterday Mike walked down the river road to the village bakery and took his camera with him. Here’s what was happening in the river:
El Niño de la Pinturas
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged artists refuge Spain, cursos de grabado, El Niño de las Pinturas, estudio de grabado, Maureen Booth, printmaking courses, printmaking lessons, printmaking Spain, printmaking studio, printmaking workshops, Spain, world class grafitti on March 29, 2012| 2 Comments »
Granada doesn’t have a contemporary art museum, but it has one of the finest grafitti artists in the world, Raúl Ruiz, El Niño de las Pinturas. (Here’s his web site.) Raúl started painting on Granada’s walls in the 1990s. Over the past two decades, besides adorning his home town with a distinguished collection of wall art, always while dodging Granada’s municipals, he’s been invited to take his work to the walls of Portugal, Holland, Italy, Venezuela, Hungary, Belgium, France, among other places. Well-documented followers calculate that Raúl has more than 2,000 murals all over the world.
His work is both idealistic and poetic, and tends to feature brief prose poems done in exquisite calligraphy along with evocative scenes of infancy and adolescence, scenes which sow tenderness and solidarity wherever he works. These human elements are contrasted with the voracious metaphoric gears and train wheels that permeate industrial society.
Raúl says:
-
- “Cansado de las mismas respuestas,decidi cambiar mis preguntas”
- “¿son números lo que tu alma nutre?”
- “¿quizás el materialismo se está apoderando de nuestras almas? ”
- “¿Qué hacer con juegos que siempre se pierden?”
- “…sólo quien a renunciado a la victoria y a la derrota encuentra su camino… “
- “…y haciendo cosas que rompo para arreglarlas y volver a romperlas paso mi tiempo…”
- “y el tiempo se acaba…y la vida no espera…”
- “el mundo está oscuro…ilumina tu parte…”
- “Y donde miro si ojos no tengo…”
Tired of the same old answers, I decided to change my questions
is it numbers that your soul nourishes?
Perhaps materialism is devouring our souls,
What shall we do with games that are always getting lost?
only one who renounces victory and defeat can find his way…
making things that I break, just to mend them, then break them again, I spend my time…
and time runs out… life doesn’t wait…
the world is dark… enlighten your part…
Where do I look if I don’t have eyes?
