Find me over on Substack

​
In light of the growing lack of transparancy and trust within the regular social media platforms I've decided to consciously switch how to put my voice into the world, slowing down and writing more. It might take a bit of time, but if you want to join me on Substack I'll be talking more about the process of art making and how practice can be embodied through plant metaphors.

Continues 1st Feb - 1st March 2025, tues - sat 11 - 4pm
 
This work redefines the mediums of collage, printmaking and drawing through a frottage technique that excavates the magazine page for its material resources. Drawing from a plant orientated form of thinking ‘on its head’ these light box works aim to unsettling our notions of categorization, within the plant world and within artistic disciplines.  The technique of frottage attempts to suspend something decomposing using a variety of experimental processes that lean into mycelial methodologies and practices to grapple with our current ecological situation.

Finnissage: UNDOMESTICATED GROUND
Sat 4th Jan 15 - 17h, Travessa do Giestal 45aUndomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

This group exhibition marks a significant transition for studio seco, celebrating the end of a chapter as well as new beginnings. Join us for the finnissage and discussion on some of the topics raised on Saturday 4th Jan at 15h

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin /  Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira  / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Undomesticated Ground - Studio Seco

Studio Seco collective exhibition: Undomesticated Ground
Thurs 5th Dec 18 - 20h 
​

Undomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

In her book, Stacey Alaimo critiques representations of nature as a passive, objectified space, often tied to patriarchal systems of domination. The idea of “undomesticated ground” - as of the works featured in this show - challenges the tendency to domesticate and control both nature and women, recasting nature as a feminist space that offers a transformative framework for understanding ecological and social struggles.

This group exhibition marks a significant transition for studio seco, celebrating the end of a chapter as well as new beginnings.

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin /  Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira  / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Address;  Studio Seco, Travessa do Giestal 45A, Lisbon 1300-277

Exhibition & Book Sale CALENDÁRIO AVULSO
 
Calendário Avulso is an exhibition and accompanying book born from the dialogue between collages by Nina Fraser and texts by Paola D'Agostino. The final 50 copies of the limited edition artists book will be available to purchase alongside the exhibition of the collages featured, at Loja Jardins do Bombarda. Myself and Paola will of course be there to offer you a glass of wine and perhaps read you a poem or two. 

"Calendário Avulso” is time in bulk, a collection of moments or epiphanies, which decontextualised take on the possibility of representing each and every day, in an ideal space where the dialogue between various languages alters and enhances the meaning of each exchange.

“Deliquesce” - Solo Exhibition: Nina Fraser

30/8/2024

Exhibition Inauguration: 12 Sep: 6pm - 9pm 
​Continues:  13 - 14 Sep:
4pm - 8pm 


​

“Deliquesce” - from Latin dēliquēscere to melt away, become liquid, from de- + liquēscere to melt, from liquēre to be liquid

Nina Fraser presents a new series of work utilising alternative image making techniques that combine frottage, collage, and printmaking to explore tactile encounters with plant and vegetal life. Through a perception of the vegetal world as a fundamentally symbiotic system of interrelations between roots, rhizomes and soil, nature is no longer subject to categorical thinking. The magazine image is liquified through the application of heat, harnessing its material properties to yield a multi-layered exploration of intricately connected worlds. 

Nina Fraser apresenta uma nova série de trabalhos que utilizam técnicas alternativas de criação de imagens que combinam frottage, colagem e gravura para explorar encontros tácteis com a vida vegetal e vegetal. Através de uma percepção do mundo vegetal como um sistema fundamentalmente simbiótico de inter-relações entre raízes, rizomas e solo, a natureza deixa de estar sujeita a um pensamento categórico. A imagem da revista é liquidificada através da aplicação de calor, aproveitando as suas propriedades materiais para produzir uma exploração em várias camadas de mundos intrinsecamente ligados.
