Hispanic Society: Atlas by Ana Paula Cordeiro
November 18, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
| FREE
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.
