- The "exhibition" workshop (1h30)
In collaboration with artist Kimsooja
Dancing with reflections until July 27, then on September 7 & 14
As part of her carte blanche for the exhibition Le monde comme il va ( “The World as It Goes”), the South Korean artist Kimsooja installed a huge mirror on the floor of the Bourse de Commerce Rotunda. With her installation To Breathe — Constellation, the artist has turned the architecture on its head, and with it the order of the world.
Based on Kimsooja’s gestural indications and led by the Bourse de Commerce's cultural mediation team, this choreographic workshop invites children aged 6 to 12 to explore this stunning work as a vast field of experimentation in which they can defy the laws of perception, marvel at the reflections of the surrounding architecture and of their bodies, and have fun with optical illusions to observe the world from a whole new perspective.
A new "exhibition" workshop in collaboration with an artist from Arte Povera exhibition will be proposed from October 9.
- The "exhibition" workshop (1h30)
Nature under your skin from October 9 (Arte Povera)
This creative exploratory workshop about the work of sculptor Giuseppe Penone invites young participants to follow the rhythms of nature during a visit in motion to the exhibition Arte Povera, during which children will take root, become a stone, and create a river! In the workshop space, they will enjoy transforming themselves into natural beings by playing with the imprint of their gestures and bodies.
- The "architecture" workshop (1h30)
L'archi donne le tournis on September 28 and October 5
