About

Max Ernst defined collage as “the systematic exploitation of the accidentally or artificially provoked encounter of two or more foreign realities on a seemingly incongruous level – and the spark of poetry that leaps across the gap as these two realities are brought together.”

That spark is, ultimately, what we want to explore in this workshop.

The essential idea of the workshop is to stimulate the creativity, that the assistants develop their creative and communicative capacities and, of course, to have fun.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In the first session we will see the history of collage, from the Avant Garde movements to the collage scene nowadays, in order to achieve a solid background and lots of references.

In the next three sessions, we will make collages from different assumptions, exploring different ways of creation and forms of expression.

We will make a collective analysis of the works. Through the analysis, we will talk about concept, message, composition, contrast, color, texture, balance, tension...

The main thing is to spend these evenings between scissors, glue and papers, to work with our hands and create a space for knowledge, exchange and debate.

IMPORTANT:
Bring scissors, glue and magazines
