Global Nomadic Art Project (GNAP) France IV, "Transitional Zones, or Edges" 11-23 June 2023 (Saint-Lactencin)
The locations of the workshops are linked to three elements: wood, water, and fields, forming transitional zones, or EDGES. Just as the exercise of artistic and other activities in times of a pandemic has confronted us with the relationship and the limits between reality and virtuality, between face-to-face and online, between the individual and the community, we will similarly engage with the limits of geographical zones, and, above all, with the zones of transition, vagueness, or uncertainty that mark the fringes of a territory. These edges, transition zones of our environment, are zones of resilience, permeability, and acceptance of a non-Manichean world, where everything is not either black or white but complex, rich, and varied.

During this workshop, we will stretch printmaking conventions. Employing DIY methods, we will use commonly available objects (rubber bands, paper cut-outs, leaves, bones, ferns, feathers, flour, charcoal powder) as "plates" to make repeated patterns. We may sprinkle pigment over the surface and spray it with water to develop the colour, to form varied textures. We will also experiment with frottage and collage.
In addition to synthetic inks, we will experiment with organics (coffee, henna, beets, grass) that we can find in daily life. Unlike synthetic inks, their colours change as they oxidize. Some examples are found here. https://sites.google.com/view/aried
Though not required, participants can also bring their own materials, such as cardboard, or old books.
