ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: STEFAN HOFFMANN
3 July - 8 August, 2010
SMILE! from Stefan Hoffmann on Vimeo.
Dutch artist Stefan Hoffmann realises ‘on site’ projects using silkscreen printing directly onto various surfaces, including windows, walls and billboards. Drawing upon imagery including pictograms, medical illustrations and 17th century emblem books, he incorporates visual elements found around the working location. Every project involves a gradual evolution of imagery through the combining of new and existing screens, allowing the public to follow the creative process over time.
Over the course of his residency Hoffmann will create a window/wallprinting piece for the south gallery which visitors will be able to observe as it develops.
