Description
DANCE OF THE LINES
In Cy Twombly’s paintings, lines unfold as if in a dance-like vortex—powerful, spontaneous and full of expression. This visual language is created through a physical gesture, a performative movement that goes beyond words.
In the workshop, we want to look at Twombly’s artistic practice.
We will explore the connection between Abstract Expressionism and performance. Through spiraling, rotating lines and circular movements of the body, we will approach the processes of creation. We will also look at parallels between the artist’s gestural expression and Persian spiral motifs.
The workshop will take place in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by artist Niloufar Shirani.
ABOUT THE SILVER FACTORY
Every second Thursday evening from 5.30 to 7.30 p.m., the free drop-in format “Silver Factory” provides the right setting for teenagers and adults to get creative. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous studio, the Silver Factory, various different techniques and themes entice us to take part in varied artistic endeavors across all media. Whether drawing, painting, using different printing techniques or dancing, whether analog, digital or hybrid, come by and be transported into the world of colors and shapes in a relaxed atmosphere.
