How is such a massive sculpture constructed? What material is it made of? How is it transported? As is, or taken apart in pieces? And how is it reassembled afterwards?
At this workshop, we will attempt to answer all of the above questions, thus becoming better acquainted with Louise Bourgeois’s best-known work, as well as the world’s museums!
Sunday 17/07 & 31/07
Participants will attempt a weaving approach to the spider archetype, but also come up with their own symbols, which they will translate into the weaving language by way of repetition.

In this drawing and observation workshop, we draw inspiration from nature and Louise Bourgeois’s sculpture Maman, on display at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, as well as from a series of drawings/prints of the same artist that belong to the collection of MoMA. Employing natural materials (tree branches, stones), paper and colored pencils, we create shapes and forms and capture them on paper.
