Offspring of Reciklart Festival is happening on 21 April, Friday at 3.30 pm and on 22 April, Saturday at 3.30 pm, and we are kindly inviting children (older than 4 years old) to join our creative workshop.

The workshop – which is going to take place at the courtyard of Metelkova in front of Alkatraz Gallery – will teach you what mosaic is, and how and from what materials we can create it. After we learn this, we will start to create the mosaic on the walls of Alkatraz Gallery.

Parents and children are more than welcome to bring various objects – old toys, cups, plates, products made of clay and similar objects – which will be used for assembling the mosaic.

The workshop is tutored by Nevena Aleksovski and Danijela Zajc, and is free of charge.

“The exhibition brings together three people: artists Valerie Wolf Gang and Eriz Moreno and the curator Kateřina Lenzová. They personally met here in Ljubljana in 2016 which resulted in a joint project. The unifying theme of this project is the subject of artistic mobility which has currently a significant impact on artistic practices and interdisciplinary co-operations.

The works presented at the exhibition were made during international artistic residencies. They demonstrate how a new and foreign environment affects artistic creation and the artists. Staying abroad involves constant confrontation of opinions, attitudes and values, providing the artists with a rich source of inspiration and new experiences. In their works the artists reflect not only the world around them, but also their position in it.” – galerijalkatraz.org

You are kindly invited to the opening of the exhibition The Clash by Eriz Moreno and Valerie Wolf Gang on 4 April, Tuesday at 8 pm at Alkatraz Gallery. You are kindly invited also to the discussion at the SCCA Project Room: “Artist Abroad – Discussion About Artistic Mobility And Its Influence On Art” with the artists and the curator on 3 April, Monday at 6 pm.

On display: 4 April 2017 – 28 April 2017
