a workshop by Nancy La Rosa
Saturday 17 December 2016
3:30 – 6 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 Sandra Nakamura (November 26th), Nancy La Rosa (December 17th) and Gilda Mantilla & Raimond Chaves (January 14th).
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 second workshop takes place on Saturday 17th of December and is led by the artist Nancy La Rosa, who proposes an exercise of creation and synthesis departing from the observation and memories of the clouds in the sky of Lima, to generate templates that later will be used to produce screenprints. In Lima, clouds hide the sky for most of the year. However, with December comes a change in the seasons and the cloud cover that looms over the city like a dense blanket begins to clear, giving the possibility of observing individual clouds and a deeper sky.
The workshop will be held between 3:30 pm and 6pm in Proyecto AMIL. Teenagers and adults are welcome to join. No previous knowledge or expertise in art making is needed.
Admission is free and materials are included.
