CYANOTYPE Laboratory, with Patrícia Leal
in partnership with Viver o Verão
July 07th, 14th, 27th and 28th 2022
Synopsis
In its original and pure form, photography requires the simple combination of a restricted number of basic ingredients:
– Light;
– One opening;
– A surface over which to print the result image;
From this basic recipe, the possibilities for experimentation are (almost) infinite. This workshop proposes the exploration of the Cyanotype printing process.
Bio
Patricia Leal (Germany, 1973) – Artist, filmmaker, researcher and curator.
She attended the independent study programme in Visual Arts at the Maumaus School, the post-production course at Etic, and also studied photography at Richmond College London. In 2010 she obtained a Masters Degree in Documentary Film at Goldsmiths College. She is a PhD student in Artistic Studies at FCSH / Universidade Nova de Lisboa and was awarded a grant by FCT to develop a research on the landscape of post-colonial memory in contemporary Portuguese art. Her curriculum includes collaborations with national and international artists, filmmakers and directors.
In 2020, a landmark year for humanity, and after many years living abroad and more recently in Lisbon, he returns to his origins, to the city of Lagos where he attended high school. Currently he is resident artist at LAC returning, once again, to alternative photographic processes. His artistic work falls within the realm of environmental aesthetics, reflecting on how we position ourselves in relation to nature, animal, plant and organic species.
