Visit to the historic Fallani atelier of Venetian silkscreen printing
A visit to the historic Fallani atelier of silkscreen in Cannaregio, where many artworks are on display, means discovering the Venetian's screen printing technique, a method that makes an artwork reproducible while at the same time unique. Fallani’s archive counts more than 1,000 artworks printed since 1968. Here, participants will have the opportunity to understand all the stages of the silkscreen process (from the realisation of the frames to the use of the printing tools), the technical characteristics and the many solutions screen printing includes, together with the tricks of this method.

Fallani Venezia
Silk screen-printingIn his father's footstepsFallani Venezia’s story started in 1968, when Fiorenzo Fallani had his first experience of this new printing technique coming from the United States. After participating in the 35th Biennale d’Arte in Venice in 1970, he worked with artists from all over the world. His son Gianpaolo followed in his father’s footsteps: now he is the family's expert in screen-printing. Over the years, Gianpaolo has worked in other sectors of the family business, but in 2012 he took over the workshop and now works there exclusively. He continues to seek out collaborations with international contemporary artists offering residencies, training courses and hands-on experiences that foster an exchange of skills, knowledge and ideas.
