MINI-MAXXI. ZAHA HADID’S GIANT FOR THE LITTLE ONES

GIVING FORM TO LIGHT
Workshop on the exhibition Projections. Installations from the MAXXI Arte Collections
What does it involve?
Unusual environments in which light and colour give form to space, images in movement, enveloping shells: the children immerse themselves in an extraordinary cognitive and emotive experience. From sculpture to installation, from environments to video, how do artists design space with light? The children find out by interacting with the works on show during an exploratory visit and while experimenting in the dark how an artwork rises with lights and drawings.

Through to April the workshop will be enriched with a visit to the exhibition Models/Modelli featuring 80 models including those from the MAXXI design competition.

ACTION/INSTALLATION Experiencing space
Exploratory visit to the art collection
What does it involve?
From sculpture to installation, from drawing to video, contemporary artists choose diversified linguistic strategies to speak of our time. What relationship is there between the materials, the techniques and the forms chosen by the artist and the meaning of the work? In what way does every installation relate to MAXXI’s fluid space? How does the spectator interact with it? Starting out with the works themselves, the students discover and experience at first hand the installation practices in the museum’s galleries.
