Lithographs — Marcelo Burgos
Opening April 25, 2019, 8:00 p.m.
Exhibition from April 25 to May 8
“This is a series of different lithographs made during the last two years in the Taller Magma, in Buenos Aires, printed by the Master Printer Matías Amici. I discovered Master Amici looking for a workshop to go to in my travels to Argentina. Lithography is a printing process in which you draw directly on a lithographic stone. The drawing is fixed by a chemical process to receive and maintain the ink grease, which does not adhere to the rest of the surface of the stone because it is impregnated with water. This inked stone is then stamped onto the paper using a lithographic press.
Both engraving, lithography and sculpture have something very interesting in common: the participation of a mechanical process that modifies the result. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a stamp come out of the press for the first time and discovering the variations that this mechanical process has produced in the part. In this way, the process becomes the most important and not the result. Thus, the work becomes a kind of meditation, something that helps me to be present and conscious.”
