ENSAYOR GRÁFICOS REALIZADOS EN EL INSTITUTO BOGOTANO DE CORTE PARA EL CONTENIDO DEL MAGAZIN SURSYSTEM 3R





En el taller de autoproducción del magazin Sursystem 3R, lxs asistentes construyen su propia publicación, aprenden como se arma y pega un impreso; también elaboran la portada y la contraportada y la decoran a su gusto, utilizando diferentes técnicas de impresión; para este taller en el Instituto Bogotano de Corte (IBDC), se utilizó una impresora tarjetera o maquina de impresión tipográfica manual, para el titulo del magazin y los participantes utilizaron diferentes tipos de sellos para su decoración, en el anterior post pueden ver fotos de todas las portadas que se hicieron en dicho taller. 

En adición a los 14 instructivos que van en el contenido del magazin de forma permanente (Todos los Sursystem 3R los tienen), lxs asistentes realizan una pieza de arte o ensayos gráficos, propias y únicas para incluir en el contenido del impreso, que además comparten con todxs lxs otros talleristas. Estas piezas se realizan con collage, ilustración, escritura, sellos y otras técnicas de impresión que se combinan entre si para así lograr una pieza irrepetible que solo aparece en las copias que se crean en ese especifico taller. 

Comparto aquí todos los ensayos gráficos que lxs asistentes elaboraron el pasado 29 de enero en el taller realizado en el IBDC, Bogotá, Colombia.

Que disfruten!

Transmitiendo desde casi el polo norte (NYC -17C) the Sursystem 3R zine self-publishing workshop, participants create their own publications while learning how to assemble and bind printed materials. They design and decorate the front and back covers to their preferences using various printing techniques. During this workshop at the Bogotá Institute of Cutting (IBDC), participants used a card printer or a manual letterpress machine for the zine's title, along with various stamps for decoration. You can see photos of all the covers created in that workshop in the previous post. In addition to the 14 instructional guides that are a permanent feature of every Sursystem 3R zine, participants create their own unique pieces of art or graphic essays to include in the publication. These pieces are shared with all workshop participants and are crafted using collage, illustration, writing, stamp printing, and other techniques. The results are one-of-a-kind pieces that only appear in the copies created during the workshop. I’m excited to share all the graphic essays created by the participants on January 29th at the IBDC workshop in Bogotá, Colombia.

TALLER MAGAZIN SURSYSTEM 3R EN EL INSTITUTO BOGOTANO DE CORTE

Hola todxs, feliz año, primero que todo! 

Faltando dos días para que se terminara el 2025, tuve la oportunidad de realizar el taller de autoproducción del Magazin Sursystem 3R (Reusar, Reciclar y Repensar), en el Instituto Bogotano de Corte (IBDC); este fue el quinto taller del SSyS_3R que he realizado en BGT en los últimos 12 años, esta vez gracias a la gestión de Omar en el IBDC. 

En total fueron nueve talleristas, algunxs muy jovenes, que aportaron desde su talento piezas artísticas, realizadas usando el collage, la ilustración y/o la composición, para el contenido del magazín; además de la creación de las portadas y contraportadas que utilizaron para sus ejemplares, que ellxs mismos aprendieron a armar. 

Fue un taller de seis horas donde ningunx de los asistentes abandonó o se quejó del trabajo que se estaba realizando. Todxs terminaron el taller y se llevaron a casa un ejemplar del Sursystem 3R elaborado por ellxs mismxs, decorado por ellxs mismxs y ensamblado por ellxs mismxs, donde la principal característica no era sólo su originalidad y utilidad, sino lo paradójico de su existencia: todos los ejemplares realizados en el taller tienen el mismo contenido: catorce instructivos más las nueve piezas originales que se elaboraron para su contenido; pero ninguno de los magazines elaborados en el taller es igual a otro, debido a la reutilización del papel donado por el IBDC y a los papeles para reusar aportados por lxs asistentes para la impresión del contenido.

Para este post, quiero compartir las portadas de los ejemplares realizadas por lxs asistentes al taller, más la que yo realicé para mi ejemplar y que contiene 14 sellos diferentes. 

De nuevo quiero agradecer a Omar por abrir el espacio para realizar el taller pero también por su trabajo y apoyo durante el mismo; igualmente mil gracias a lxs asistentes por su interés y por no caducar durante todo el proceso de elaboración del SSyS_3R.

Hello everyone, happy new year, first of all!

With two days left until the end of 2025, I had the opportunity to conduct the Sursystem 3R (Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink) magazine workshop at the Bogotá Institute of Cutting (IBDC). This was the fourth or fifth SSyS_3R workshop I've held in Bogotá in the last 12 years, thanks to Omar's efforts at the IBDC.

There were nine participants in total, some very young, who contributed artistic pieces using collage, illustration, and/or composition for the magazine's content. They also created the front and back covers for their copies, which they learned to assemble themselves.

It was a six-hour workshop where none of the participants left or complained about the work. Everyone finished the workshop and took home a copy of Sursystem 3R that they had created, decorated, and assembled themselves. The main characteristic of these magazines is not only their originality and usefulness, but also the paradoxical nature of their existence: all the copies made in the workshop have the same content—fourteen instruction sheets plus the nine original pieces created for the magazine—but none are exactly alike, due to the reuse of paper donated by the IBDC for printing the content and the recycled paper brought by the participants.

For this post, I want to share the covers of the magazines created by the workshop participants, plus the one I made for my own copy, which contains 14 different stamps.

Again, I want to thank Omar for providing the space to hold the workshop, but also for his work and support throughout the process. Likewise, a huge thank you to the participants for their interest and for their perseverance throughout the entire creation of SSyS_3R.
