WORKSHOP DETAILS

​

The workshop’s theme of 'Object' focuses on finding content in the things/objects that surround us. Participants will select an object to work with, exploring its identity through memories, provenance, history, cultural significance, and context.

The workshop aims to enhance artists’ professional skills and deepen their understanding of identifying and selecting content for artmaking. It will cover conceptual articulation through choice of object, materials, and techniques, as well as the effective execution of ideas. Participants will develop advanced experimental thinking and creativity, focusing on individual art production, techniques, and thought processes.

Suitable for both upcoming and established artists, Unisa Visual Arts alumni and current students are particularly encouraged to attend. Upcoming artists will benefit from learning from more advanced peers, while advanced artists have the opportunity to showcase and expand their current practice. Some Unisa Art lecturers will also participate, offering additional insights. Each participant will produce several artworks during the workshop, with the best pieces exhibited at Unisa. The exhibition setup will take place on Friday afternoon, opening on Saturday, 20 July, at 12 noon.

Conducted in one of Unisa’s large professional studios, Studio B, the workshop provides ample space, tables, chairs, easels, and basins.

There is safe parking on campus close to the workshop venue.
