Sunday Workshop

Theme 7 December: Memories and Meetings

This Sunday Workshop draws inspiration from the ongoing exhibition “Best regards, Lee Mingwei”, and we will experiment with different materials and methods in the Workshop.

The artist Lee Mingwei creates art that comes to life in encounters between people – through gifts, hospitality, trust, and relationships.
This week we are collaborating with the Palliative Development Centre in Lund, and we are taking part in their program, which is held throughout the week in various locations across Skåne. We invite you to interpersonal meetings where memories and reflection are at the center.

In the Workshop, we have prepared three different creative activities:

1.

Create graphic prints that tell the story of a memory. It’s a simple and fun technique where we use craft foam. For the brave – go out into the museum and pass on your memory to a stranger.

2.

Try making art that is an event rather than an object, something known as participatory art. We draw each other, but it’s not about the result (that the portraits should be beautiful or skillfully drawn). We focus on what happens in the moment: the situation created in the encounter, the presence, and perhaps the meditative quality of the instant.

3.

What is the letter you never wrote? The Workshop becomes a place for conversation before the letter-writing; we have prepared some questions/words that can help you in your reflections. Then you write the letters in the exhibition, in one of the booths.
