Images after Images: Narrating History With Silk-Screen Printing

Students will learn silk-screen printing technique: preparing the support, exposing the emulsion on the screen and printing on various flat supports (canvases, wood, paper or fabrics). They will develop their drawing and painting skills and create new ideas for their own work in a dialogue based on one‑to‑one and group discussions on printed or reproduced images. Individual research will be expanded in conversations with contemporary witnesses. Students will develop their own projects using printing technique, and in combination with drawing and other media. The focus in one-to-one and group discussions is on students' artistic development.

Philipp Gufler

Target group

Basic knowledge of silk-screen printing technique is not necessary.
Readiness to learn silk-screen printing technique, to work in a group, to share ideas and personal artistic research, and to work independently.

Course aim

We will look at images from various archives in connection with silk-screen printing. Based on discussions on literary and academic texts, we will explore the significance of historical iconic images in the present age. At the same time, the course will question the appropriation of such images in protest movements. The focus will be on individual work in personal or queer archives, together with the transfer of images into personal narratives by means of silk-screen printing.
