Workshops and Artist talk

Schatten haschen
From letter to image – from word to object and back. This show is a celebration of the library and museum as an inspirational force. Browsing and research accompany any artist project. In this show artists Barbara Beyer, Marie Therese Ross and Sayako Sugawara investigate their personal creative journeys in libraries and museums. These three artists, with studios based in the Borough of Camden, embrace materiality and the object. They sculpt light, clay and wood, employing photographic processes, traditional skills and experimental approaches. Drawing, sketching and developmental sculptural sketches are an integral part of all three artist’s work and play an important part in this show.

 

 

This evening workshop will encourage the participants to explore the relationship between sculpture/ objects and drawing through playful and experimental use of sketchbooks. Participants will record and develop responses and thoughts related to the exhibition through drawing, writing and mono-printing. The workshop is closely linked to the exhibition and all three artists will be present to guide through the activities and share elements of their practise.

The exhibition includes a beautiful essay written by artist and art historian @alikibraine 

Aliki Braine will be joining the three artists on Thursday 27th June 6-7.45pm  for an artists talk with Q&A.

Do please join us at the Swiss Cottage Gallery (1st floor in the library) 

 

This collage workshop is aimed for individuals and families of all ages and will encourage the exchange of everyday and cultural experiences through collage and assemblage of materials that the participants will bring along. The contributed materials will be pooled and shared. The collages can take the form of 2-dimensional images or 3-dimensional assemblages/objects. All three artists will be present to lead the session and will briefly talk about how they use collage and enjoy experimenting with varied materials.
