UCCA Children’s Artist Workshop: Immaterial Artwork

2013.10.13
14:00 - 15:30

Location:  UCCA Workshop
Language:  In Chinese Only

About This Program

With his unique, interactive “constructed situations,” UCCA exhibiting artist Tino Sehgal endows his artwork with meaning and value in an entirely objectless way. How can we help children understand this unique art form?

In this activity, kids will create artworks using colored sand; however, the artwork is as much about the process as it is the final product.

To get the most out of this activity, all participants must have seen Tino Sehgal's exhibition at UCCA.
