Between voluptuousness and stringency. Drawing, Painting, Object
Carrying your own artwork to an extreme while drawing, painting, or using plastic. Always keeping track with the scarlet thread. Passionately knitting the world together until the seams crack, enjoying getting lost in your own labyrinth, becoming intoxicated with one’s own language – providing for clarity with strength and resoluteness, chopping away everything that disturbs – phrasing arguments – like emptiness needs fullness – separating main scenes from side scenes.
The aim of the art course: to enhance one’s individual artistic endeavours – acquiring artistic criteria (through intense conversations). Learning to speak and reflect about one’s own work.
Participation requirements and application documents: Curiosity and patience towards oneself and the others. The strength and will to engage in debate. No CVs. Instead photos of own work, approx. 10 – 15 items. Maximum number of participants: 12
