Carlos Llerenga Aguirre : Mapping Printmaking, Douro Printmaking Biennal, Portugal
PhD candidate Carlos Llerenga Aguirre has been included in the Mapping Printmaking World Book project curated by Nuno Canelas, and the Douro Printmaking Biennial. Portugal
The “Mapping Printmaking” project is a work in progress on a digital book that compiles the work of hundreds of artists from around the world in the field of printmaking. All traditional engraving techniques are covered, such as Metal Engraving, Linocut, Woodcut, Monoprint, Lithography, Photo Engraving, Mixed Engraving Techniques, as well as Digital Print and Conceptual Installation, which clearly reflect the printmaking landscape.
This digital project will be online for at least 10 years, but it is intended to continue for longer and could give rise to other projects, namely an International Biennial of Graphic Work in the virtual space of the internet and others.
More than a mere compilation book of artists in the field of Printmaking, this project aims to give greater emphasis to Graphic Work in the context of Contemporary Art, with one of its main objectives being the dissemination of international projects that can work in a network, providing contacts, carrying out partnerships, promoting exchanges, events, workshops and other more or less physical or virtual projects.
