Zeitgenössische Kunst sehen und verstehen (Viewing and Understanding Contemporary Art)
Workshop
Not infrequently, contemporary art works with irritation and seems complicated and difficult to understand at first sight. But it can be quite simple: in the context of current social issues, artistic expression (images, objects, performances, etc.) can stimulate viewers to reflect and discuss.
A small creative exercise at the beginning opens the space for interpretation and communication. Afterward, contemporary art is dealt with in its basic features: past productions are separated into artistic concept and statement on the basis of archive materials.
In a practical part, participants take on the role of artists themselves, photographing scenes or still lifes and expanding these photos with personal comments. Finally, the works are presented and discussed.
