Art Intervention

Art Intervention refers to art created with the intention of interacting with an existing situation, structure, artwork, audience, or institution. This form of art gained popularity in the 1960s as artists sought to provoke change within political and social contexts. The concept of Artist-in-Residence programs was influenced by the ideas and practices of this movement.

Gelatin Silver Print

A silver gelatin print is a type of photographic print made using the silver process. In this process, photographic materials such as black and white films and printing papers are coated with a light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts suspended in gelatin. This emulsion is applied to a support, which could be flexible plastic, glass, resin-coated paper, or baryta paper. The materials are light-sensitive and remain stable under normal storage conditions, making them ideal for long-term preservation.

Patina

Patina is the distinctive greenish surface that bronze develops over time due to exposure to air and humidity. Artists can also apply chemicals to bronze to artificially create patina. Alternatively, bronze can be polished to reveal its natural rich gold color. Patina is not exclusive to bronze; it can also occur on other metals like copper and even on wood and stone, enhancing the material's character over time.
