Kunst für dich und mich und euch und uns

Intergenerational Artistic Workshop for all Interested

We offer a wide range of artistic activities related to the exhibition Paper, Rock, Scissors—Materials and Tools of Art that can be tried out directly in workshops. How is paper made? What is a sculpture? Are there also works of art made of fabric? What exactly is the sense of touch? Can any material become art? And how old is the oldest pair of scissors in St. Pölten? We will explore all these questions and other considerations during a short tour of the exhibition. Afterwards, everything will be ready for you in The Other Laboratory, where you can try your hand at the materials and tools featured in the exhibition.

Paper, plaster, fabric, paints, scissors, string, mirrors, chalk—tearing, cutting, painting, pouring, shaping, writing, threading, gluing. Or maybe you have completely different ideas? Each weekend focuses on a different material. Check the schedule to find out which one it is.

This time
Even the title Picnic in the Dark of Nilbar Güreş' artwork invites you to take an unusual perspective, as everyone traditionally waits for sunshine when planning a picnic.
You can take a closer look at the work on a short tour of the exhibition. Can you recognise a female figure in the bottom left of the picture? Is there a wolf dancing next to her? And why do you see a glowing television screen that nobody seems to be paying attention to?
In the workshop, you will work with fabrics and textiles. This will turn them into carriers for your own drawings and stories.

Max. number of participants: 15
Children up to the age of 8 are not allowed to attend the workshop alone.
