International Panel of Jurors Select
Winning
Oaxacan Artesanos on July 7-8
|
|
|
|
| A renowned panel of folk art experts -- from
Oaxaca, Mexico City, London and New York -- jointly assembled
by FOFA and the director of MEAPO
selected the winning pieces and those receiving honorable mention
in early July 2008. The exhibit opens with a tianguis
(fair) featuring folk art from various artesanos and reception
on October 25th, in time for the crowds that travel to Oaxaca
for Day of the Dead. It also includes works of senior Oaxacan
folk art masters. This exhibition, along with some of the artesanos,
will come to New York in 2009-2010. A catalogue will accompany
these events featuring artesanos who win and those who receive
honorable mention
in photographs
of them and their works, brief bios and contact information. |

In addition to having their works displayed
in two exhibitions and being featured in
a catalog, five winners
have been enrolled in a special course of study at the Taller
de Artes Plásticas Rufino Tamayo in the city of
Oaxaca. The Taller's director and Carlomagno, an alumnus
of the Taller, designed a special three-month-long
course
of study. Students are not only taking courses in their
area of production, but also
other types of artistic media,
including engraving, painting, ceramics and wood carving. Exposure
to these other art forms will help young artisans to refine
and enhance the scope of their techniques.
In addition, materials and transportation
fees were provided. |
