Description
Wood, stone, paper, fabric—all things we know well. But can they also become art? The artists of Arte Povera wanted to show that art is everywhere! Even in things that are old, used, or inconspicuous. In this workshop, you will collect simple things yourself. You will combine them, shape them, glue them, or tie them together. In doing so, you will discover how much expressive power lies in simplicity and how found objects can suddenly take on new meaning. The result is your own work of art made from everyday materials.
The workshop will be held in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by the art historian and long-time art educator Urte Ehlers.
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.
