This Tuesday, our Artists in Residence will be presenting their work at DE BOUWPUT.

Come visit us to see their research, work in progress, and have the opportunity to talk to the artists.

Artist-in-Residence June: Michele Boulogne (b.1996, Martinique, FR) is an artist and researcher based in french Normandy and Amsterdam.
Her practice investigates how identity and cultural memory are shaped through spatial sciences.
Drawing from the histories of textile and visual arts, she explores how distant geographies, astronomical phenomena, and large-scale natural events, often perceived as too remote and abstract, become embedded in material culture and collective memory.
She asks : What can be the role of visual arts in shaping the identities of those who inhabit, represent, or narrate these landscapes?
Influenced by her Caribbean heritage and space studies, her work often takes the form of visual collages, layered compositions that mirror fragmented histories and overlapping temporalities. She combines artisanal and industrial textile techniques such as weaving, knitting, dyeing and photographic processes like photo etching.

Artist-in-Residence in June: Goytung (1994, Taipei) is a graphic designer, radio maker, and social artist based in Amsterdam. Rooted in a long-standing practice of image collecting, Goy creates collages and visual impact from fragments found in daily encounter and online archives. By recombining these materials, they build dreamlike visual narratives that invite unexpected connections and welcome viewers for interpretations.
Their practice explores humour as a social tool, creating works and gatherings that break the ice surrounding the art communities. Influenced by both graphic design and independent radio-making, Goy’s work combines visual communication, storytelling, and participation to bring lightness and accessibility into every spaces possible.

Workshop: Silkscreen printing on paper

🗓️Friday 3rd July, 10:00–17:00
👤 Max. number of participants: 6
✨ Level: Beginner & Intermediate

In this workshop, we’ll explore the basics of silkscreen printing by creating prints from your own image, text, or drawing. You will learn how to prepare artwork for screen printing, expose a screen using UV light, mix inks, and print by hand onto paper.

Silkscreen printing is a versatile stencil-based technique that allows for bold graphic results, layered colours, and making editions. The technique is widely used in art, publishing, textiles, and poster-making, and is suitable for both photographic and hand-drawn imagery.

🎟️ Workshop fee: €170
The workshop fee covers most of the printing materials for the session, and you will get one extra day for free in the AGALAB workshop to come back and experiment further!

💛 What’s included:
Thorough Introduction to Silkscreen Printing
A4-sized transparency
*Important: If you want to work with a picture of your own, you must bring a printed positive print of your photo over a transparency (more information on our website).

Workshop: Basic Etching on zinc plates
🗓️ 20 June, 10:00—17:00
👤Max. number of participants: 5
✨Level: Beginners & Intermediate

In this workshop, we’ll cover the basics of etching and aquatint on zinc starting from your own drawing. You will learn how to polish and degrease the plate, etch lines with hard ground and copper sulphate, how to create different greyscales with aquatint, and how to print on paper with the etching press.

Etching is a traditional intaglio printmaking technique. In it, lines and textures are engraved over a zinc plate, allowing the incised areas to hold ink. The technique is suitable for illustrative and abstract artworks.

🎟️ Workshop fee: €170
