A cyanotype workshop led by Ellen Gallagher and Edgar Cleijne will be held at Fundación Botín – located in the in the historic port-city of Santander by the Cantabrian Sea, on the North coast of Spain – from the 11th to the 21th of July 2022.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to use cyanotypes, a 19th-century photographic process, to compose collaborative 16mm film sequences. It will explore the Cantabrian Sea as history, as site and as material as the participants immerse themselves in the surrounding bay of Santander.
This workshop is bound to Centro Botin´s current exhibition Ellen Gallagher with Edgar Cleijne: A law… a blueprint… a scale, the first presentation in Spain by the American artist Ellen Gallagher including paintings, works on paper as well as three film installations created in collaboration with Dutch artist Edgar Cleijne. The exhibition proposes an active dialogue with the deep-sea waters and the organisms, stories and myths that inhabit them.
