Please join the artists of Cornerstone Studios for an artist talk by Cornerstone’s 2023-24 #Studio178 artist-in-residence, Wildriana Paulino. Saturday, March 23, 3-4pm, in the sanctuary of Our Saviour’s Atonement Lutheran Church. Address is 178 Bennett Avenue, New York, NY 10040.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Wildriana María de Jesús Paulino is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. She received her BFA in Fine Arts from The Cooper Union School of Art. Wildriana has exhibited her work in various venues, including the Bronx River Art Center, and Abrazo Interno Gallery at the Clemente Soto Veléz Cultural Center. In 2022, she participated in the NY Latin American Art Triennial and exhibited “Maternity Figure,” a life-size installation resulting from her research on femicide—the normalized killing of women for being women. A 2022 recipient of the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation Prize, Wildriana’s collaborations include Women’s Strike NYC and The Audubon Society.
Studio178 is a 12-month artist’s residency for immigrant, late career, recent MFA graduates and/or artists in financial need. Studio178 is jointly sponsored by Cornerstone Studios and Our Saviour’s Atonement Lutheran Church. More information at www.cornerstone studios.nyc and www.osanyc.org.
In this workshop, artists Maria Luisa Portuondo Vila and Aurora De Armendi Sobrino will invite participants to explore the creation of a Volvelle structure inspired by their most significant memories of trees.
Please RSVP here
Volvelles are early forms of paper engineering and paper analog computers. They are made by overlapping pieces of paper with rotating elements to convey information. Early forms of volvelles can be traced back to the 9th century. They were designed to record and share information about astronomy, mathematics, geography, and the natural sciences in general.
Maria Luisa Portuondo and Aurora De Armendi Sobrino are in the process of working on their project Verde y Carmelita supported by NYSCA and the Hispanic Society. In their project, they are designing a series of artists books using the volvelle structure.
The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first section will consist of a creative exercise to remember and brainstorm together experiences we have had with trees such as memories, stories, sensations, and feelings. The intention for the second section is to take these reflections and incorporate them into personalized volvelle designs.
Join us for Ana Paula Cordeiro’s presentation of her work-in-progress “atlas,” which originated from her artistic research with the Hispanic Society’s map collection.
Ana Paula Cordeiro will show a work-in-progress “atlas” originated from her artistic research with the HSA map collection, tracing the research findings to the creation of this new work. She will also share insights from a workshop taken with the former Library of Congress map conservator Pamela Spitzmueller, and offer to the audience the opportunity to participate in hands-on demo of two historical map structures, the Turkish Map Fold and the Vade Mecum.
A 2020 Pollock-Krasner awardee and an artist research fellow at the Hispanic Society of Americas, Ana Paula Cordeiro thrives in the communal space. A founding member of the Introspective Collective, in 2018 she co-curated a multi-media installation at The Clemente and co-authored a book about making books titled Bookforms. Originally from Brazil, she is a recipient for the NYASCA 2023 grant cycle, and has been a key holder for the The Center for Book Arts communal shop for twenty years. Her artist books are collected by major institutions in the US and abroad.
