 Flashes of Light: 16mm Rayogram workshop with Alex MackenzieTime to turn the lights off and experiment. This workshop led by Vancouver-based artist Alex MacKenzie, explores the potential of moving image rayograms, or photograms— the technique whereby objects are placed on the surface of the film, exposed to light, and processed to negative. The workshop will also incorporate handprocessing and contact printing, where images of pre-existing found footage are used as source material, manipulated on the surface of the raw film stock, and exposed to create stunning new images. 16mm film stock will be supplied and a group piece will be created by running lengths of film out and each working on an area of it under a safelight. NOTE: If attending the workshop, please bring little objects you might want to place on the film - small objects are more effective: ie: staples, paperclips, lifesavers, washers, screws, bits of nature (flower petals, grass), bits of paper, and anything larger with a pattern (looseweave fabric like burlap, clusters of string, your grandma's old doilies, etc.) Remember - each single image is a little under 16mm wide, so keep that in mind! Workshop attendees get into Alex MacKenzie's performance later in the evening for free *** THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW SOLD OUT - SORRY ***
