a workshop by Sandra Nakamura
Saturday 26 November 2016
3 – 7 pm
In the context of – al Cielo de Noche de Lima / to The Night Sky of Lima – the two-part exhibition by the American artist Richard Tuttle, Proyecto AMIL and Museo de Arte de Lima – MALI, invite you to participate in a series of workshops that take the Lima sky as their starting point. The workshops will be directed by the artists Nancy La Rosa, Sandra Nakamura and Gilda Mantilla & Raimond Chaves.
In response to the exhibition, each workshop consists of an experimentation with various creative tools to record the ideas, thoughts and feelings that are generated from a renewed curiosity with our sky, and how this intersects with the minimalist and subtle work of Richard Tuttle.
The first workshop takes place on Saturday 26th of November and is led by the artist Sandra Nakamura, who proposes an exercise around the different shades of color that our sky releases during sunset. A color chart will be constructed based on memory, direct observation of the sky and examples in art history. This color chart can be worked on with a medium that the participants feel most drawn to.
The workshop will be held between 3pm and 7pm in Proyecto AMIL. Teenagers and adults are welcome to join. No previous knowledge or expertise in art making is needed.
Admission is free
About the artist:
Sandra Nakamura (1981) lives and works in Lima. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego, USA and a Master’s Degree in Public Art from the Bauhaus Universität Weimar, Germany. In the last 10 years, her practice has focused on the observation of processes that involve the use of the urban environment as material and merchandise, as well as a repository of public identity and collective memory. These processes are viewed from a poetic perspective to address the spatial, social and economic conditions that govern the transformation of the environment. She has also developed site-specific projects for LEME Gallery, Sao Paulo; I Denver Biennial, USA; Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco; and Open Center ’09, Lima. Her work has been awarded with the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation Scholarship.
