DEADLINE: 26/02/2023

An investigation of materials, their potential, qualities and how they can be transformed and (RE)imagined during the creative process, and how to apply techniques related to the individualities of each material.
The workshop is inspired by a short story by Franz Kafka The Cares of a Family Man (1914-1917), a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade The Elephant (1945) and the List of verbs (1967-1968) by Richard Serra. An investigation of materials, their potential, qualities and how they can be transformed and (RE)imagined during the creative process, and how to apply techniques related to the individualities of each material.
The workshop is strongly committed to the development of conceptual and poetic thinking, encouraging experimentation through intuition and curiosity and the necessary courage to embrace risk and improvisation. All of this centered on the individual and pictorial universe of each participant, combined with personal and technical skills.
We will use each other and our surroundings to debate, seek ideas, generate questions, doubts and possible answers in a constant process of dialogue and exchange of ideas.
Price: R$3360 reais (€610); 50% discount for Algures students and partners.
About the Teacher:
Célio Braga is a graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Netherlands (2000). He currently resides and works in Amsterdam and São Paulo. His trajectory is marked by his ability to fluidly redefine and expand categories such as photography, drawing, performance, video, sculpture and contemporary jewelry (or rather, objects related to the body). The resources employed in the construction of his works are always taken to the limit and beyond, through successive experiments and the use of unusual materials and craft techniques. Conceptually, his interest is guided by the fragility of the body, healing, the irrevocable passage of time, memory, mourning and sexuality. The sexual ambiguity often present in the artist's work, in its forms, components and actions, erodes and challenges the pretense hegemonic representations of gender and the dominant conceptions of sexuality. In this way, it offers us a more hybrid, fluid and polysemic perspective of making art and being an artist. His works are included in several public and private collections in Brazil, Europe and the United States.
