    Artist Hélène Deléan will organise 3 work­shops inspired by the cur­rent exhi­bi­tion taking place at Bétonsalon, The body goes on strike (20 May - 24 July).

    Saturdays 12th June, 26th June, 17th July
    Bétonsalon offers a snack time at the end of every work­shop.

    Last work­shop
    Saturday 12th June, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm
    ARTICULATED BIONIC HAND
    Focusing on Florian Fouché and Hedwig Houben’s art­works showed in the exhi­bi­tion, Deléan will offer the par­tic­i­pants to make an artic­u­lated bionic hand, based on a detailed obser­va­tion of their own hands: their folds, their motion, their limits, using basic mate­rials such as card­board, plastic straws, and strings.

    Upcoming work­shops
    Saturday 26th June, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm
    SUSPENDED
    Focusing on Florian Fouché’s work and his bal­ancing char­ac­ters, as well as Erwin Wurm’s series One Minute Sculpture, chil­dren will con­sti­tute duos and try to create "sculp­tures" with thier own bodies and ordi­nary objects. The goal will be to bal­ance more and more ele­ments to form these sculp­tures. After exper­i­menting sev­eral propo­si­tions, every duo will select one of them and will pre­sent it to the group. The artist will take a pic­ture of each at the end of the work­shop.

    Saturday 17th July, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm
    FOLDED, OBSTRUCTED, LIBERATED
    Based on the pho­tographs of body "sculp­tures" taken during the "Suspended" work­shop, this new work­shop will pro­pose to make small-scale repro­duc­tions of them, using recy­cled mate­rials (card­board, fabric, straws, corks, etc.). The aim will be to make them without the help of classic fixing tools (no glue, string or adhe­sive) to con­tinue exper­i­menting with bal­ance and to stim­u­late the imag­i­na­tion. The work­shop will be fol­lowed by a pre­sen­ta­tion of the sculp­tures on the Bétonsalon plaza.
