This workshop is a tribute to Alighiero Boetti’s stylistic research.
Engravings, typographic works, envelopes and postal files made by the artist will be the inspiration that we will let flow freely within the course. A starting point that will inspire a collection of signs and figures through a collaborative performance.
We will make a collective imagery using images, strokes, textures as a research tool, to liberate manual skills and ideas. We will push analog research to the limit and explore without setting limits to our full potential to discover together how to master discipline with chaos. The end result will be a collective publication.
