Aluminium, Transfers, and Ghostly Presences
12 June @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Are you an artist or craft practitioner interested in working with industrial matter, exploring the boundaries of material transformation, and confronting ecological fragility through collective work?
CRAFT Happening: Aluminium, Transfers, and Ghostly Presences is an exclusive one-day Craft Happening led by visual artist Guillermo del Valle. Organized by ESPRONCEDA – Institute of Art & Culture under the European project Craftwork 4.0 ALL, this temporary laboratory invites creators to experiment with aluminum and image transfers to reflect on ecological fragility and climate displacement.
What to expect
- A pure co-creation process: You won’t just work on a solo piece; we will operate as a single collective to design and build a unified, large-scale installation.
- Digital-to-physical production: Learn how to source and invert digital imagery to transfer it directly onto metallic surfaces, creating a visual language of transparencies and ghostly forms.
- A collaborative laboratory: A vibrant environment to share insights with creators, artists, and metal enthusiasts from Barcelona and surroundings.
What you will gain
- Advanced material skills: Practical experience in combining digital media with traditional and industrial metalwork.
- Exhibition opportunity: The collective artwork created during this session will be selected to be showcased at the ESPRONCEDA CRAFT Festival (from the 2th to the 4th of December), held within the prestigious framework of the 30th Anniversary of Drap-Art at ESPRONCEDA.
- International framework: Your contribution will be documented as part of the European research for the Craftwork 4.0 ALL project and aligned with the official values of the New European Bauhaus.
