Description
MATERIAL TRASFORMATIONS
Positive or negative? Artists such as Alexandra Bircken, Robert Gober, Philippe Parreno, and Nairy Baghramian enjoy playing with different materials. They often use unusual materials for their three-dimensional artworks, sometimes causing confusion.
In this workshop, we will explore the interplay between negative and positive forms. What happens when we transform shapes and impressions into a different material? You will use clay to make an impression of an object. Then you will fill this mold with plaster. Once the plaster has dried, you can take a small relief home with you.
The workshop will take place in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by the artist Janna Jirkova, who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. She works as a freelance artist at the intersection of new media, sculpture, and performance. Since 2018, she has also been working as an art educator at various museums in Munich.
THE OPEN FACTORY
Every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., the intergenerational drop-in format “Open Factory” provides the right setting to get creative with the whole family or with friends. Changing techniques and themes entice you to take part in varied artistic projects, and to stroll through the exhibitions. Whether drawing, painting, using different printing techniques or dancing, whether analog, digital or hybrid—we will take you into the world of colors and shapes and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
