PRESS RELEASE We are pleased to announce that Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at 18:30, at the Galleria Stefano Forni, P.za Cavour 2, Bologna, the exhibition will be inaugurated PRINTFOTOLAB: a graphic shows the course of the laboratory of prof. Cataldo Serafini teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna.
Those in the exhibition are graphic works made by students who have attended and are attending the Academy of Fine Arts, and these are the result of ongoing work between acquisition and technical research aimed at a formality that best represents their thinking. The result achieved acquisition is not merely technical, but is the result of a learning process aimed at enhancing the pupils' personalities, helping to discover and enhance content between artistic and live and feel contemporary.
In order to achieve this goal, the laboratory was set up and equipped with digital technologies. The reason for this exhibition is also to be understood that, in addition to the use of traditional graphic techniques, can and must maintain semantic and iconographic references, if you need to express a creativity made with digital technology and photo; so, for teaching are not inclined to set limits, openings but living tradition and innovation.
In conjunction of the exhibition was inaugurated a blog laboratory

The intention is to make visible the experiences and inform on objectives and projects so that students are aware of the formal possibilities as well as technical. All this also in order to make contact with other schools, not only in the Erasmus exchange, as was done with the project Printexbo (hearing about the reality of the Graphics Department, European Academy of Fine Arts), but also with other interchange on an international level.
This exhibition aims to be the right conclusion of the experience and make available the works so that institutions can act as a guarantor and collectors can increase their interest on young artists.
