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
Paper comes in different colours, sizes and thicknesses. Sand, earth, pigments, tea or coffee form the basis of the artistic work here. We make our own colours - using natural and regional materials. Binding agents, pigments and water mixed together produce wonderful colours for priming our papers. To try out the colours, we have paper mounted on wood that invites you to draw and paint.
