FOLLOW THE SHAPE
Exploring with our hands
Workshop undoing and redoing compositions of variously colored shapes in order to reinterpret Jean Dubuffet’s The Armchair II with a variety of materials, and therefore to understand the haptic, as well as visual, value of the piece.

IV International Kids’ Carnival “La Biennale di Venezia” The Musical Lion

February 2, 3, 9, 10, 12

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection organized Solid Music at the U.S. Pavilion. Art and Music are two expressions of a universal language which is specific and yet non-verbal. Beginning with this idea and with a mediation on every child’s relationship to music, workshop participants elaborated an individual creation which contributed to the assembly of a large collective installation. At the same time children took part in a real musical performance, to which each of them contributed via the production of their own personal note.

WHITE ON WHITE
From the paper to form...explorations with the hands. Giuseppe Capogrossi
29 and 30 September 2012, at 11am and 3pm

Workshops organized on the occasion of Families Festival and the opening of the exhibition Capogrossi. A retrospective. Starting with a blank sheet of paper, participants arrived at three-dimensional symbols typical of the artistic production of Capogrossi. Through the technique of embossing the sheet of paper on a cardboard matrix, very similar to the process of dry printing, forms with depth were produced white on white, which became 'readable' through touch. The activity was also the starting point for introducing the Braille alphabet and the tactile reading of a written text, passing from image/sign to word and vice versa.
