ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Join Arts Project Australia (APA) artist Adrian Lazzaro and guest artist Debris Facility for Lamination Station: Company Collage Workshop.

The workshop will begin with a discussion with Adrian and Debris on their respective art practices before inviting participants to merge stationery, studio waste, textural treasures and selected scraps within a plastic sleeve, then sealing it shut forever in a laminator.

Lamination collage was developed by Debris Facility during lockdown when they were unable to access their studio. Their response was to repurpose office equipment as an experimental artmaking tool in the home. Adrian Lazzaro has a prolific scrapbook practice in which he samples imagery from his life, taking photos of the TV and his surroundings, gathering miscellaneous matter. He compiles his findings within notebooks, often laminating the pages with sticky tape.

Lamination Station takes place within STOP WORK, an exhibition curated by Loren Kronemyer at APA Gallery.

Please note: this is a dry artmaking method, wet matter will not be accepted into the laminator.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Adrian Lazzaro is an artist working across drawing, printmaking, zines, textiles, and scrapbooks. Lazzaro’s vivid line-work is both dense and delicate; alive with character and movement. His intensely saturated rendering possesses a heightened emotional, almost carnivalesque feel. A magpie-like absorption of surrounding ephemera lends an elegant punk materiality to his work, which often features a cutting pun-infused social commentary. Lazzaro has worked at Arts Project Australia since 2004.

Debris Facility is a Narrm based non-binary entity invested in waste/culture. They have produced exhibitions, performances, publications and discourse in a range of inter/national contexts. They currently run ‘conduction’ a multi-arts space in Footscray.
