artists meeting children



On Saturday opens an exhibition about Art for Children (pedagogic art projects/public art for schools) at KC-Väst. I am participating with my mural for a the School of Lekstorp (but just a photo of it ... I couldn’t get the school into the gallery). Invitations and posters by me.

Laura: That little guy wasn't made by me, but by Irene Westholm. He's sitting on one of her film tapes - she is making clay animations with kids. What I did was to ask all the participating artists to submit a tool they work with (and try to be a bit creative in their choice). I then arranged a scene that was supposed to be like we had all been there working and just left it there.

Besides tools with names is very much like in school!

tools with names is like school! a brilliant idea your arrangement... thank you for exposing the thoughts behind it. it is always interesting to see how an artist's mind creates an idea for a visual.
