What happens when you don’t throw away the bottle you drank last night or the disturbing newspaper you did or did not read? What if an old T-shirt, a broken-off branch or crumpled packaging suddenly becomes material – not residual waste, but a starting point.
What will be doing?
In this course, you get to work with trash materials, with a focus on paper pulp and textiles. You learn how to make a frame and make forms out of it.
Under the guidance of artist Lieve de Vreede in one day you build a sculpture that is not neat, but real. You explore volume, structure and meaning. You reflect, experiment, draw, look, remake. The outcome doesn’t have to be beautiful (it can be tough) but it’s defintely yours.
Lieve de Vreede is a visual artist and philosopher whose work explores the boundaries between beauty and disgust. By transforming materials often considered repulsive, such as sheep dung or rubbish, into something unexpectedly beautiful, she challenges us to look differently at the things we often avoid. Her work is about processing shame, fear and discomfort through the creation of sculptures that redefine our perception of what ‘waste’ is.
