FIRE! [CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS]
with Gwendoline Robin → Marienplatz ↗︎
The production of fire is considered an elementary cultural technique. One could say that it is the basis for the emergence of human civilisation. The first forms of fireworks probably occurred during the Song Dynasty in China and were initially characterised more by firecrackers than by light effects. Globally, fireworks served different purposes now and then–religious, ritual, representative and ceremonial.
The artist Gwendoline Robin sees them as poetic gestures. The ephemeral nature of fireworks reflects the idea of collaborative creation, design and the experience of entertaining poetic moments. The artist creates collaboratively produced works of art for CURRENT in her intergenerational : fire sculptures that–enlivened with pyrotechnical effects–are ceremoniously burned in a public ceremony on Stuttgart's Marienplatz.
The is free and open to people of all ages (children up to 14 years only if accompanied by their parents). Find detailed information on the exact date and location of the workshop here.
