a work of art, a versatile piece of furniture or material for a workshop. Artifact is all these things: a mobile device, halfway between artistic installation and pedagogical resource, specifically designed to accommodate mediation proposals and educational materials, created by artists and energized by an educator.
This workshop proposes, through the game, collaboration and collective listening, a space where a series of conversations or creative actions can be established between our bodies, the elements that make up the Artifact and the space that welcomes us. With the incorporation of a set of new soft sculptural elements to the Artifact, flexible and elastic, that offer the possibility of transforming and connecting our bodies within space, playing will become an individual and collective exploration of artistic disciplines such as installation and performance. Things and bodies invites us to move, listen, tap, transform spaces and objects with your own body, connecting with others and the environment to imagine and create common landscapes.
A workshop created by Albert Potrony, multidisciplinary artist born in Catalonia and resident in the United Kingdom who uses sculpture, installation and action as a basis for research on participatory artistic processes.
