Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: Map of the Landscape and Imprint / to the Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 exhibition

As part of our artistic responses, we will focus on selected works by artists featured in the exhibition that encompass printmaking. The printmaking workshop Map of the Landscape and Imprint is dedicated to drypoint and monotype techniques as a means of capturing a unique artistic gesture. Participants will work with line, engraving and imprint, drawing inspiration from artists in the exhibition such as Jiří John, Jan Koblasa and František Skála, and from other artists who treat printmaking as process and experiment. We will begin with sketches as records of artistic ideas, then use a simple engraving tool to transfer the final motif to the smooth surface of a small format cardboard plate, which will be used to create a print. The graphic prints (A5 format) will be made using an intaglio printing press.

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.

This activity is implemented with the financial support of UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency) and the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic.

Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: Image as a Trace of Material / to the Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 exhibition

As part of our artistic responses, we will focus on selected works by artists featured in the exhibition that encompass the medium of painting. The creative workshop Image as a Trace of Material will focus on painting as a process arising from a specific substance. Inspired by Dagmar Šubrtová, whose work uses pigments that bear a direct trace of landscape and industrial activity, participants will make their own paints from powdered pigments and layer and combine them on paper. Emphasis will be placed on perceiving paint as a material with its own structure and meaning. During the workshop, we will explore the relationship between landscape, human intervention and the transformation of natural processes. The experiment will also include a transition from the handling of materials to the principles of geometric abstraction, inspired by artists such as Vladimír Houdek, Vladimír Kopecký and Tomáš Rajlich. The resulting works will focus not only on the image but also on the imprint of the material, its structure and their evolving narrative.

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.

Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: Image as Rhythm and Transformation / to the Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 exhibition

As part of the art-based responses, we will focus on selected works by the artists featured in the exhibition that use painting as their medium. The workshop Image as Rhythm and Transformation focuses on painting as a process in which an image emerges from repetition, rhythm and gradual layering. Participants will work with a simple motif that repeats across the surface while simultaneously transforming. Inspiration will come from the approaches of artists such as Lenka Vítková, Petr Kvíčala and Milan Grygar, who explore the relationship between structure and variation. In the second phase of the creative process, layering will also be introduced, opening up space for personal meanings and memory.

The art workshop will focus on the medium of painting as an exploratory process, in which order can turn into chaos and vice versa. Participants will work with coloured ink or acrylic on paper.

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.

Saturday Art Workshop: Photographic Exposure / to the to the Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 exhibition

The exhibition Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 presents a selection of works acquired by GHMP over the past fourteen years and raises questions about the role of a public gallery in mapping and interpreting changes in the contemporary art scene. The works on display span a wide range of media: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, spatial installations and conceptual art.

During the Saturday workshops, we will focus on photography and experimental photographic techniques, as well as spatial art, drawing, painting, textiles and other conceptual and new media approaches and their combinations. Participants will try their hand at the roles of collector and curator: using selections from reproductions of the presented works (complete with details such as those found on inventory cards), they will create, compile and conceptualise their own small collections, determine programming lines and seek out stories, details, symbols and relationships between elements of images and objects. We will use textiles, clay and other unconventional materials to imprint our memories and presence.  Photographic exposures will then serve to capture both familiar and imagined landscapes. For school workshops, we will also use distinctive and inspiring themes, such as acoustic drawing, geometric abstraction and connections to literature, typeface and text. As part of developing digital competencies, we will incorporate creative mobile apps and programmes on tablets to create simple animations. The programmes aim to develop visual, information, communication and digital literacy, while fostering creative and critical thinking as well as civic engagement.

Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: A Garden Party

The theme of the art workshop will be a garden party. The creative work will respond to the environment of the Baroque garden of Troja Château, including the motif of the labyrinth as part of it. We will focus on watercolour painting techniques, as well as on combined methods of creative activities (such as engraved drawing in clay, ink drawing and experimental techniques). Together, we will focus on motifs of ripening and harvesting in the garden (apples, pumpkins, nuts, etc.) as well as on dried plants and flowers which will serve both as objects of observation and as inspiration for artistic reflection (including possibilities for arranging them).

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.
