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:
Tools are objects moulded for specific purposes with the help of which something is processed or produced by hand. Certain objects or tools are collectively ascribed certain uses.
Which tools existed several thousand years ago and which of them do we still recognise today? Is every object suitable as a tool? And how can everyday objects be used for painting, drawing or working with colours or other materials? In the workshop, (old) tools and their functions will be closely scrutinised, new ones developed and tried out straight away.

Max. number of participants: 15
Children up to the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
