Everyone is talking about sustainability and it is also an important topic at this year's documenta fifteen. In the spirit of up-cycling, we use paper waste (you are welcome to bring it with you) to create shapes and figures and transform them into living characters using stop motion. A smartphone with a camera and the Stop Motion Studio app are required to take part in the workshop. We look forward to receiving your registration at info@kunsthaus-goettingen.de!

The opposite of remembrance is not forgetting, it is indifference to one's own present: for this reason, we are offering the opportunity to talk to the writer Christoph Heubner and the artist Michèle Déodat, who have designed the space "Institute to Remember" for the current documenta partner exhibition at the Kunsthaus, in the "Artist-Special" series of our exhibition "printing futures" on Sunday, 14 August at 2 pm. The "Institute to Remember" by Christoph Heubner and Michèle Déodat consist...

We will take a look at what Sofia Karim does with her samosa paper bags. Then we will design our own bag(s) - written, painted, glued, stamped or printed with a color printer. The bags can be filled into three-dimensional objects or simply form the flat base for our own creative works. Finally, we will photograph our favourite bags with a professional camera and lighting and collect the material in order to present our works later, e.g. on a video screen in the Kunsthaus. 15 € per day (r...

Books can be works of art in their own right, which, due to their form, aesthetics and feel, are able to trigger an incomparable feeling in us. Books communicate with us, with some of them we even have a very personal relationship and bond for a variety of reasons, which plays an important role in our lives. How differently book art and art books can express themselves will be the focus of the evening tour, during which you will also learn more about the creative processes of collaborations wit...

En una breve visita guiada sobre el tema de la »construcción de libros«, conocerá el emocionante mundo de la artista india Dayanita Singh, para el cual los museos no necesariamente tienen que estar vinculados a un lugar específico, sino que pueden funcionar en forma de libro en una amplia variedad de lugares. Junto con el impresor y editor Gerd Steidl, ha estado creando libros de arte únicos, idiosincrásicos e inusuales durante casi dos décadas, que no tienen paralelo y al mismo tiempo redefine...

With Florian Winkler - Do you know the saying "A picture is worth a 1000 words?" You've probably heard it before. Sometimes it also seems that the pictures want to speak to you and can come across as very lively. The artist Maya Mercer from the USA and the German poet Albert Ostermaier combine two art forms in their project: photography and poetry. Inspired by the work of art »Yuba«, we will try to compose a suitable poem that brings the pictures to life with family pictures brought with us. ...

With YogiJulia - How do we perceive our natural environment and nature? How intensively do we deal with it? What can we learn from it about ourselves? Turkish artist Alyper Aydın is guided by the energy of space and strives to treat the human existence in nature in every single sense. Inspired by his geographical experiences, he always seeks a dialogue between man and nature, explores the idiosyncratic currents of the landscape and makes temporary interventions with natural materials. We loo...

What is contemporary art? What does it have to do with me? Can anyone do something with it? How do I find an emotional approach to the work – or not? These and many more questions are explored by the Pedagogical Tandem of the Junges Theater and Kunsthaus Göttingen. In this special school offer from the age of 14, the art of theatre in the form of the play »Nipple Jesus« by Nick Hornby is combined with a playful and activating exhibition tour on topics of the exhibition, in which subjective perc...

En su extenso archivo, el fotógrafo y activista nacido en Bangladesh Shahidul Alam aborda la cuestión de qué hace que una fotografía sea relevante y qué diferentes niveles de significado juegan un papel en ella. Mirar un archivo analógico a través de una lente digital construirá un puente a lo largo del tiempo que permitirá a diferentes autores cuestionar su relación con un archivo. El trabajo que se muestra en la Kunsthaus es un trabajo en constante cambio que se expande constantemente con el ...

Curated by Necmi Sönmez, the space on the ground floor of the Kunsthaus gives you a little insight into contemporary Turkish art and its perspectives. The performance and land art artist Alper Aydın strives for a return to the nature that surrounds us, and brings the social significance and importance of this to the fore. In communication with this is the installation by the artist Sibel Horada, which combs through personal and collective stories and often explores memories of absent things. ...

With Florian Winkler - Have you ever heard of Land Art? No? In the exhibition we will get acquainted with the art of the Turkish artist Alper Aydın, who likes and often intervenes in nature. It is important to him that we gain a different view of our surroundings and understand and perceive the world better. The works of art are never permanent, but disappear over time and become one with nature again. If the weather is nice, we will create our own natural works of art in the courtyard of t...

Conservado por Necmi Sönmez, el espacio en la planta baja de la Kunsthaus le da una idea del arte turco contemporáneo y sus perspectivas. El artista de performance y land art Alper Aydın se esfuerza por un retorno a la naturaleza que nos rodea y, por lo tanto, pone en primer plano el significado social y la importancia de la misma. En comunicación con esto está la instalación de la artista Sibel Horada, quien revisa historias personales y colectivas, a menudo explorando recuerdos de cosas ausen...

Ebru is the art of painting on water. Ebru art has its origins in Asia, where this practice was mainly used to bind books. Ebru migrated to Anatolia via Iran over a period of several hundred years, where it developed into the Ebru art we know today. In the West, the art form was known as "marbled" or "Turkish paper" as early as the 17th century. In the workshop we want to deal with this exciting technique in order to end up creating some colourful patterns and impressive shapes ourselves, which...

With Florian Winkler - In the exhibition, the Turkish artist Sibel Horada deals with a very old technique that has a lot of tradition: Ebru painting, a special marbling technique in which the colours are worked on while they float on the water. A lot is determined by chance here, but not everything. With various objects such as brushes or large combs, we can draw colourful patterns and interesting shapes in the water, and combine and then immortalise them on special paper. We look forward to...

Paper is not just paper.
