OPEN Portfolio celebrates its thirteenth edition from 12 to 14 June at Sala Rekalde (Alameda Rekalde, 30, Bilbao), establishing itself as one of the leading international programmes dedicated to contemporary printmaking. The encounter brings together 14 artists from Europe, Asia and Latin America, selected from over a hundred proposals submitted from some twenty countries.

Matrix, trace, repetition. OPEN Portfolio starts there, but does not stop there. The practices selected for this edition cross printmaking with photography, writing and painting. Not to dilute it, but to better understand what it is made of.<\/span>
\nThe expanded image as a space of record. Of memory. Of time that leaves a mark.<\/span><\/p>\n
