Description
Abstract sculptures do not always reproduce human bodies in a naturalistic way. This means that we may not be able to recognize every single part of the body, and yet these abstractions can give us a very specific sense of the body. Is the body I see relaxed, bent over, proud or exalted?
Together we will listen to the sculptures and try to recreate thus experience through our own bodies. By “listening to our own body” we then develop our own ideas, which we transfer into new sculptures.
On August 13 and August 20, the workshop will be run by the artist Niloufar Shirani. On October 1 and November 12, it will be held by the art-historian Barbara Dabanoğlu. The number of participants is limited. If you wish to reserve a place for your child, please register at programm@pinakothek.de. Possible workshop languages: German, English, Persian (Farsi), Turkish.
Art education program accompanying the special exhibition „Future Bodies from a Recent Past"
The Kids’ Factory is a program for children aged between 6 and 12, inviting them to become creative themselves, as the mood takes them. It is possible to join at any time. Different techniques and themes inspire varied artistic pursuits: Whether drawing, painting, working with different printing techniques, dancing; whether analog, digital or hybrid—we will whisk you away to the world of colors and shapes, and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
The art education program accompanying the special exhibition “Future Bodies from a Recent Past” was developed as part of “dive in. Programme for Digital Interactions” of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) with funding by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) through the NEUSTART KULTUR programme.
The program was also generously supported by PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne e.V.
