DIY Photomural Workshop with Renjie Teoh
This event has been cancelled
This Lismore Regional Gallery Public Program will be cancelled, we will keep you posted about upcoming programs in the future. Thanks for your understanding and support of Lismore Regional Gallery and our Arts community.
About the workshop:
Create a Quadratura as seen in the RocoColonial exhibition at Lismore Regional Gallery.
In this workshop RocoColonial artist, architect Renjie Teoh will take participants through the steps required to design, produce and install their own quadratura photomural. Starting with the participant’s own artwork or photograph they will be shown how to import their image into a gridded, alpha numerical file. How to upscale this, add other images if necessary and to combine these to compose their own photomural. Participants will be then shown how to quickly create and save the individual printable files and finally, how to print, trim and install their image by working with Renjie in the afternoon session of the workshop to apply pre-prepared sheets directly to a wall and completing a large scale quadratura for the community.
What you need to bring:
A digital file of the picture, photograph or artwork you wish to develop into a photomural. After the workshop you will be able to print the full-scale version at home on any A4 printer or to take the files to a copy service for printing. You can make a black and white image and print this on coloured paper or you can develop a full colour image. Whichever path you choose the finished photomural you can install at home either by yourself or with friends helping you. If you do not have a digital image but do have a photograph or a drawing on paper bring that along and Renjie will show you how to digitise this using the camera in your phone.
More about the Workshop:
Gotong Royong is a Bahasa term that embraces a conception of sociality in which cooperation and sharing allow members of a community to work together to achieve a common goal, it embraces self-sufficiency, sustainability and sharing. It is widespread across South East Asia and might be understood in the Australian context as an expansion of the DIY principle to include reciprocity and mutual aid. The exhibition RocoColonial features a number of unique visitor experiences including several large-scale wall based Quadratura produced using standard A4 sheets of paper printed on the office copier of the Lismore Regional Gallery. Quadratura are a form of illusionistic image is which architectural or natural scenes are rendered on a wall or ceiling so that they seem to extend the architecture or garden spaces of the room into additional imaginary spaces beyond it. These sumptuous, visually beguiling works are easy and inexpensive to produce. The affordability and the wide availability of the materials required to produce them and the ease of their installation effectively breaks the link between the spectacular and financial or material privilege. They can be easily produced by anyone using their own artwork, printed either at home or at a copy shop. Everything that is required to learn how to make these impressive artworks yourself will be covered in a one-day workshop.
WHEN: Sat 4 April 2020, 10am – 4pm
WHERE: Meet at Lismore Regional Gallery for workshop, then the paper quadratura will be installed in Lismore’s Back Alley Gallery.
