Puntos de Fuga
Miro Foundation

Invited by the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Mallorca, Alicia Candiani is currently in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, directing Punto de Fuga: graphic field practices expanded one of the three Graphic Workshops that the Fundación Miró developed during 2012. With Spanish artists from Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Tarragona, Alicante, Seville and Palma de Mallorca, the group is working on the Joan Miró engraving workshop at Son Boter under the magic of the place and the spirit of the artist.

Vanishing Point is a collaborative work that covers various theoretical and technical aspects related to contemporary graphics using as pivot the new techniques of dry photolithography (waterless) and its hybridization with digitally printed images, with the aim of expanding the creative possibilities of the participants within what has come to be called “expanded graphics”, that is, its extension to other formats, media and processes, this time the appropriation of the offset commercial reproduction media (photo- dry lithography) and digital printing.

ABOUT THE MIRO FOUNDATION’S GRAPHIC WORKSHOPS AT MALLORCA

The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca was founded following the donation by Joan Miró and his family to the city of Palma, in 1980, of the four studio workshops where he had worked intensely from 1956 until his death, so that they could become a stimulus for future generations of artists.

Miró expressed a desire for the spirit of creativity and transgression to live on after his death and the dream came true with Son Boter. The workshops have conserved that desire to act as a springboard for experimentation in a wide diversity of artistic fields. Year after year, in this privileged setting, young artists and other more established ones carry out projects,exchange ideas and share their creative experiences.
