Artist-In-Residence Workshop Series: Science Fictions in Real Time
Artist-in-Residence Deanna Sirlin continues her residency at the Georgia Tech Library Feb. 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Library's Crosland Tower second floor classroom with a workshop entitled “Science Fictions in Real Time.”
Users will create a Utopian/Dystopian environment using Adobe Photoshop.
Participants will take photo(s) with their phones of a place in Crosland Tower or the Price Gilbert Library, either looking out from or into the building. Using Photoshop, participants will learn techniques to alter the photo into a science fiction tableau.
Participants will have access to Photoshop using the in-room computers.
This workshop is open to Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty.
Sirlin received an MFA in Painting from Queens College, following a BA in Art from SUNY Albany.
She has received grants and awards from the Judith Alexander Foundation; the Nexus Fund; US Artists; Georgia Chapter of The National Museum of Women in the Arts; The US State Department; and a Creative Capital Warhol Foundation award. Sirlin has had artist residencies at Yaddo; the Mark Rothko Centre, Latvia; the Cini Foundation Venice, Italy; Padies Foundation, Lempaut, France; and the City of Nuremberg, Germany. Her upcoming exhibition Borders of Light and Water will part of the 59th Venice Biennale in Italy.
