The POOL workshop focuses on interdisciplinary practices and involves a wide variety of mediums. Its core is rooted in the ideas of sculpture and painting, as seen in the work of Mathis Altmann and Vittorio Brodmann. The two artists explore techniques for embedding narrative structures, highlighting representational elements while investigating how abstraction can lead to distortion, the grotesque, and the fantastical.
Workshop (2024) with Stéphanie Moisdon, Shirin Yousefi
The workshop draws attention to our immediate surroundings, carefully examined and used as source material. It encourages including a broad range of ideas, materials, observations, physical objects, and ephemeral elements found nearby.
The framework revolves around the concept of the model, both as a playful way to explore scale and as a method of setting a scene. The ECAL design workshop amenities are utilized alongside input from art historical examples spanning the 20th century to the present.
The POOL workshop concludes with a presentation at Sebeillon Space on the final day.
