Desde el año 2011, el grupo de investigación artescultura y el semillero
de investigación LAB/PRAC, dirigido por el docente asociado Jorge Eliècer
Rodrìguez Osorio de la Universidad de Caldas en co-producción con la docente
Jules Floss de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte, vienen realizando el
proyecto Diàlogos e Interpretaciones, en relación a los procedimientos de
grabado tradicional, permitiendo la interconexión entre pares académicos de
diversas universidades a lo largo del continente americano. Se busca fortalecer
la grafica dentro de las facultades de arte logrando un acercamiento a
elementos de innovación en procesos menos tóxicos, promover la obra gráfica y crear conexiones con
artistas de America.
Estos antecedentes serviràn
en un futuro cercano como indicador para implementar un macro proyecto de
Bienal Internacional de Grafica la cual buscará posicionar a la ciudad de
Manizales y a la misma Universidad de Caldas dentro del circuito de las artes.
DiÀlogos
E Interpretaciones II: the Americas International Print Exchange and
Traveling Exhibition was organized by Jules Floss, University of North
Carolina- Pembroke, United States and Jorge Eliécer Rodríguez Osorio, associate
Professor Universidad de Caldas, Manizales, Colombia and is in its second year.
Its goal is to promote artistic and cultural exchange between printmakers from
North and South America. ARtists were
asked to create a limited edition of 8 prints no larger than 8” x 10” using any
traditional printmaking technique; relief, lithography, intaglio, serigraphy,
letterpress, or combination of techniques an could interpret DiÀlogos
E Interpretaciones (Dialogs and Interpretations) as abstractly or literally
as they chose. Their response was exciting with a wide array of techniques and
subject matter. A total of 58 editions
where received from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and the USA. Two prints from
each edition were kept for exhibitions.
From September 2013 through 2014 these two portfolios will travel
simultaneously to be exhibited in South America and the United States. Each participating artist received 6 randomly
selected prints in exchange.
