Holiday Art making workshops

 

ACCA’s highly successful school programs ‘THINK’ and ‘MAKE’, will be offered during these school holidays. Become a Philosopher and exhibit at ACCA!

Take a fun and engaging tour through the Nathan Coley exhibition, followed by the Philosophy of Art workshop, using contemporary art as a stimulus for philosophical discussion. Funny and enlightening, your child will get to grapple with the question, ‘what is art?’ And you will be surprised by their answers! ACCA’s THINK program for kids opens up exciting opportunities for wonderment, learning and discovery. 

Then it’s time for MAKE, where children create an artwork based on the exhibition. Through haptic learning, art and philosophical concepts, ideas begin to fall into place. Inspire your child with the endless possibilities of contemporary art. ACCA is an art laboratory of ideas. So be inquisitive.

Kids can decide whether to take their work home or to contribute to the growing children’s installation in the ACCA foyer, and thereby becoming an exhibiting artist!

COUNTER CONSTRUCTS Nicholas Brooks Graham Hudson Tim Ivison & Julia Tcharfas Paul Kneale Guan Rong Brendan Threadgill 18 September – 3 October

Counter Constructs brings together seven artists from the UK and North America in an exhibition exploring strategies of representation and critique of the urban built environment. Responding to the undead ?regeneration? of global development projects and the geologic sediment of spatial histories, the exhibition is a series of implicit proposals and contestations. Un?nished maps, unspeci?ed models, unbuilt plans and unbuilding t…he city – the exhibition is as much about utopia as it is about its folly.

Initially organized by Tim Ivison & Julia Tcharfas around their research-based collaborative practice, Counter Constructs is a way to extend their dialogue on urban space to a wider range of interpretations. The artists in the show are brought together by
a shared interest in mining the ?structure? of architectural thinking. Comprising a sound installation, a détourned architectural pavilion and a ?oor-drawing altered daily – each work represents a part of a circuitous system of associations and digressions. Auto-Italia
will be temporarily appropriated as a space for the archaeology of urban utopias and the staging of alternative visions.
