Re || Surface: A Virtual Exploration of Resurfacing in Art
Join us for the Re || Surface conference, a virtual gathering that invites artists, students, and professionals to delve into resurgence within the arts. This free conference, taking place online from March 3rd to 7th, will provide a platform for exploring how artists and thinkers are revisiting, reimagining, and contextualizing ideas, themes, and practices. Our roles as artists and printmaker remain rooted in the evolution of process and resurfacing traditional mediums in a contemporary setting.
We welcome proposals for demonstrations, panels, and artist talks that contribute to our understanding of resurfacing processes in various artistic disciplines. Whether you're interested in discussing historical resurgences, contemporary reinterpretations, or the act of physically resurfacing materials, we encourage you to share your insights and experiences.
Key Themes In Consideration:
Historical Resurgences: Examining the revival of forgotten or marginalized artistic movements, styles, or techniques.
Contemporary Reinterpretations: Exploring how artists are reimagining classic works, themes, or concepts.
Material Resurfacing: Investigating the physical act of resurfacing materials, such as restoration, recycling, or repurposing.
Conceptual Resurfacing: Delving into the process of revisiting and rethinking artistic ideas, themes, or philosophies.
Join us for a stimulating and thought-provoking conference that celebrates the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of printmaking and art.
