Created by the LUCAgraphics publishing house, the 2013 edition of the OpenWorkShop project emerges from a determination to promote art and to provide contemporary artists with tools for the production and projection of their works. The event's central goal is to offer a platform that focusses on contemporary graphic works, to showcase the work of creators and to promote artistic proposals among specialized art critics and the general public.
The artists selected will be awarded the publication of his/her work in an edition published by LUCAgraphics. Fifty percent of the profits from the edition will go to the artist and the other fifty percent to the publisher. Candidates must use serigraphy and digital impression to create their works. The event will take place at some point between July and September of 2013. During the edition process, or part of it, the presence of the winning artist may be required at the tooling workshop so he/she can intervene, develop and participate in the decision process of the edition.
The jury panel is formed by professionals from the art world. They will announce their decision on June 21 of 2013. During the days that follow the announcement, all the artists who participated will be inform if their works have been selected to be part of the 2013 OpenWorkShop group exhibition to be presented at the Sala de Exposiciones de Pepe Herrera Taller Gráfico in Madrid in November and December of 2013.
The jury may request to observe the actual works submitted to the competition or more detailed descriptions of the projects. So the jury can evaluate the pieces, the artists may be asked to submit the works or more detailed descriptions of their projects directly at the Pepe Herrera Taller Gráfico, located at C/.José Calvo, 28 local 28039 in Madrid, Spain. The decision of the jury will be final. The works requested by the jury that are not selected will be sent to the authors through a shipping or delivery service chosen by the organization.
