Workshop at the Educational Lab (Miller Room) led by Edith Payer with students from Class 3E/B at BRG Klagenfurt-Viktring
In this workshop, the theme of hospitality is explored in a playful way using fruits and vegetables. Artist Edith Payer, who examines themes of musealization and classification, uses the medium of drawing in this workshop to explore the question of what makes a good «host.» First and foremost, the artist posits, it requires openness and curiosity to allow oneself to be transformed by the guest.
Using tattooing techniques, the workshop will turn apples into hosts for worms, bananas into hosts for fruit flies, and it’s up to the students to imagine the tiny creatures that feel right at home in potatoes.
The results of the workshop are arranged into still lifes and photographed to create images for postcards. The postcards, in turn, act as guests attempting to gain permanent entry into new living environments.
A collaboration between Kunstraum Lakeside, BRGViktring, Educational Lab, and Edith Payer.
Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research as part of the OeAD program «culture connected» — collaborations between schools and cultural institutions.
