Space is limited.
A free workshop on relativity and the body
This playful workshop is based on the idea that not many of us understand Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and the curvature of space/time, despite its profound effect on science and post-modern thinking.
In conjunction with the exhibtion “Under/Over” Cunningham and Lai have constructed performative sculptural activities in order to interact with Herman Minkowski’s famous space-time model, which inspired the exhibition. In the workshop you will interact with handmade props through a series activities devised by Lai’s Butoh influenced methodology.
Linking analytical thought to physical perception the artists textiles and props become essential objects for exploring and understanding the ramifications of the “fabric” of space-time and our place within it. And in the spirit of Neo-Concrete art and Lygia Clark, the workshop will explore the enfolding relationship of the subject and object, and participation as a central theme in approaching these artworks.
