Artist Editions Workshop

Artists' Editions Workshop is designed as an exploration of the possibilities of publications and graphic works in the field of artistic practices, starting from the ideation, development, conceptualisation and production of printed works. It is a practical experimentation subject that relates learning about the characteristics of the material and technique with the emergence of languages. Practical experimentation is also related to different artistic frameworks, both contemporary and historical.
