Galeria BNDES, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Conceived specially for the BNDES Cultural Space, Artesania Fotográfica presents the results of the research of seven Brazilian contemporary photographers, who opted to use alternative processes of image printing: daguerreotype, ambrotipia, platinum, cyanotype, albumin and calotype, techniques used from 1839 and practiced until the beginning of the 20th century by amateur and professional photographers.
The curator Marcia Mello chose works with a more classical language and also bring current issues of Francisco Moreira da Costa, Cris Bierrenbach, Roger Sassaki, Ailton Silva, Mauro Fainguelernt, Ricardo Hantzchel and Tiago Moraes.
The photographer Regina Alvarez (Rio de Janeiro, 1948-2007), pioneer in the use of alternative techniques of photography production and printing in Brazil, is being honored with presentation of documents, personal notes and works of her own.
