GYMNASIUM – Thought turned Infinity into a Serpent
a casaBranca & LAC co-production
Guest Artist: Ricardo Lopes
3, 10, 17 and 24 Nov 2017 – E.B.2.3 Tecnopólis, Lagos
Synopsis
Workshop that will give a brief introduction to Ceramics, a form of expression as primitive as it is contemporary, exploring the way it has accompanied the history of mankind and making known the particularities of its aesthetics.
At a time when our hands are rapidly becoming virtual world controls and we no longer recognize in them the potential and ability to give three-dimensional form to our thoughts and emotions, contact with clay is even more important because it revives the ability to materialize things, to create using only a basic dexterity regulated by simple principles.
