Print Studio
Print, for Iberê Camargo, with his restless personality, held something of a solution for the contrast between black and white: something like a creative synthesis, something simultaneously inside and outside the line. In print, through its direct and immediate conflict with hard resistant matter, Iberê also spoke of painting and drawing. It was not just the case of painting interfering with the print but also the opposite – it offered experimentation with directions and a refinement of ways of seeing which would gradually and inevitably settle into his creative practice.
The space he used to work in continues to function through the Print Studio Invited Artist Programme. Created in 1999, it every year receives artists who do not need to be printmaking specialists, to work for one week producing an intaglio print, under the guidance of Eduardo Haesbaert, the programme coordinator and Iberê Camargo’s printer for the final four years of his life, from 1990 to 1994. The guests work with Iberê’s old German press that, transferred to the studio designed by Álvaro Siza, and perpetuates the essence of the programme.
The studio has hosted over 50 artists since the start of the project in 1999, carefully selected by the Foundation’s Curatorial Board. 60 copies are taken from the plates produced, with half the edition remaining with the artist and the other half becoming part of the Iberê Camargo Foundation´s print collection. A open public meeting, in which the artists discuss their work, is also organised.
So, from that sum of practices and experiences, of weeks and artists, the Iberê Camargo Foundation has over the years assembled a significant collection of prints by contemporary artists from Brazil and abroad: Alex Flemming, Alvaro Siza, Amilcar de Castro, Anna Letycia, Annabella Geiger, Antonio Dias, Arthur Piza, Beatriz González, Beth Campbell, Cabelo, Carlito Carvalhosa, Carlos Martins, Carlos Pasquetti, Carlos Vergara, Carlos Zílio, Carmela Gross, Cláudio Mubarac, Cristina Canale, Daniel Acosta, Daniel Senise, Darel Valença Lins, Eduardo Costa, Eduardo Sued, Elaine Tedesco, Elisa Bracher, Evandro Carlos Jardim, Fábio Miguez, Iole de Freitas, Jorge Macchi, José Resende, Karin Lambrecht, Leon Ferrari, Lia Menna Barreto, Liliana Porter, Lucia Koch, Luis Carlos Felizardo, Luiz Eduardo Robinson Achutti, Marco Buti, Mauricio Guillen, Mauro Fuke, Marco Maggi, Maria Lucia Cattani, Mario Carneiro, Mary Dritschel, Miguel Rio Branco, Nelson Felix, Nelson Leirner, Pablo Chiuminatto, Paulo Brusky, Paulo Pasta, Regina Silveira, Ricardo Basbaum, Rochelle Costi, Siron Franco, Tomie Ohtake, Vera Chaves Barcellos, Walmor Corrêa, Waltercio Caldas, Xico Stockinger.
