Following the success of previous editions, Zoë Dankert returns with two new workshops. Together, we will explore how writing can help you get closer to a work of art.

 

Art criticism is often associated with critical distance, but first and foremost, it is about relating to something new. To do so, it is necessary to let go of expectations and to observe slowly. Language can help with this. Through various writing exercises, Zoë Dankert invites you to respond in words to Julika Rudelius’s exhibition The Seamless Real.

 

Taking Julika Rudelius’s work as a starting point, these workshops focus particularly on writing about body postures and the allure of power. We explore how language can polish and disrupt.

 

We will write art criticism (in workshop 1) and poetry (in workshop 2), and discuss how different forms of writing respond differently to an artwork.

This workshop is open to everyone. No prior knowledge of art or writing experience is required to participate. You may attend one of the two workshops or register for both. The workshop will be in Dutch, but it is possible to receive feedback on English texts.

 

Price: 6.00
