we invite you to the workshops
art rooting — the traditional schemes of art reception are discussed during the cycle of workshop and curator showings around, organised at the BWA Contemporary Art Gallery. Art rooting around can be associated with the jungle in which you can be lost because of the overload of incentives. Therefore it is worthwhile stopping to classify and divide, in favour of absorbing experiences with the whole surface of the body. Art rooting around aims at breaking the stereotype, according to which contemporary art is incomprehensible and difficult in interpretation. Developing in the audience the need of contact with art is based on a free form of meeting at the gallery (workshop, lectures, curator showing around, and curator showing around, adapted to the age of participants). Thanks to rejecting intellectual analyses in favour of using own sensations and feelings, art becomes a field of adventure for an open viewer.

The April artistic expression workshops refer to the “Post-Gauguin” exhibition, which has been organised within the framework of the 11th Biennial “Towards Values”. The motto used is the title of Paul Gauguin's painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? These performance arts workshops primarily for teenage schoolchildren are meant to encourage philosophical reflections — they will provide the young generation with the scope for creating their own existential space. The children will have a chance to become familiar with the technique of cloisonnerie and create large format works inspired by stained-glass windows.
The workshops will be held from Monday to Friday (except Wednesday) from 10 am till noon and from 12 noon till 14 pm. Pre-registration is required.
