University Open Air: Printmaking for Beginners (Linoleum Carving)
In this workshop, we will learn the basics of printmaking by carving a drawing over linoleum and screenprint using the frottage technique. We will use the flora, vegetation, and the natural landscape of the park as inspiration.
Rocío Guerrero Marín (b. 1991) is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Santiago, Chile. In her work, Marín addresses collective affectivity with invitations for sharing, listening and being in the present time. Through a hybrid of sculpture, installation, and performance, she is interested in exploring affective relations and commonalities between bodies and environments, while exploring ideas of language, experience, and materiality. Her work has been shown at museums and galleries, standing out: In the wake, 205 hudson gallery (2021), New York; Life of my life, Vitrinalab (2020), Miami; CCU Gallery (2019), Chile; Museum of Contemporary Art (2018), Chile; New media Bienal (2018), Chile; YAP-CONSTRUCTO / MOMA PS1 (2014), Chile. Rocío Guerrero is a 2019 fellow FONDART, and resident at Soma Summer 2021. She currently lives in New York.
