L'Automàtica
A collective of graphic designers, poets, artists, and illustrators who have recovered a printing house in Barcelona and converted it into a self-managed cultural association. United with the printer as machinist, tutor and mentor, we have transformed a traditional business into an active space for dialogue, to hold workshops, print projects, experiment and learn the craft. We believe in the transmission of knowledge, in the regeneration of spaces, in self-management, in the need to slow down the pace, to work from the local context and, above all, to join forces to defend the things that interest us.
Established in 1963 by José Fandos under the name “IFA Tallers gràfics” and later directed by Ferrán Fandos, the printshop located on Carrer d’en Grassot 89 in Barcelona has become since 2011 the cultural association L’Automàtica. Nowadays a space dedicated to experimentation, autoproduction, open dialogue and self-publishing.
Members:
Gerard Altaió, Diego Bustamante G., Ferran Fandos, Renata Gelosi, Jordi Oms, Ariadna Serahima, Dominik Thieme, Marc Torrent.
