BMA lab: Tape Looping workshop by Ana Guedes
The repetition of sound motifs and phrases, cyclical movements, and the use of vinyl records or magnetic tape loops are some of the recurrent creative resources in the sound installations by the artist Ana Guedes. In this workshop, which follows the presentation of the Ana Guedes' new project, inserted in the Scale Travels program, participants are invited to a collective dialogue in the context of an experimental workshop, using the devices adapted by the artist, in a sharing of creation and experimentation processes.
Ana Guedes, born in Braga, develops her artistic practice between Portugal and the Netherlands. Her work explores sound plasticities in formats such as performance and installation, interconnecting temporalities and narratives, notions of archive, and historical perspectives exploring social and political structures. She holds a degree in sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto and a Master's in Artistic Research from the Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands.
She was a Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation grantee between 2015 and 2016 and selected artist for the EDP New Artists Award 2017, having been awarded an Honorable Mention for the work presented. Between 2018 and 2019 she participated in artist residencies at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, Netherlands. In 2018, she was awarded the Piedra de Sal prize by the Cuenca Biennial, Ecuador.
