Drop-in workshop: Colour Vitamin
In the drop-in workshop Colour Vitamin, participants can experiment with colour and create their own works of art to make the world a little more colourful. Participants layer bright coloured films onto clear sticky sheets to create their own colourful, stained-glass-like images.
Inspiration is drawn from Kristi Kongi’s practice: her use of colour and the motifs of stairs and passageways. In this way, colours become routes of movement: different levels and through-ways, where one hue leads into another. The translucent materials allow light to bring the colours to life, and each piece becomes a personal little window of colour. The workshop invites participants to reflect on their own routes and steps, and to build colourful worlds of their own: something from which to draw a vitamin boost of colour.
The workshop is open from 1 to 3 pm, and you are welcome to join at any point during that time. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age; children under 8 should be accompanied by an adult.
The event is part of the public programme of the exhibition Kristi Kongi: Chromatic Drift.
The Estonian painter Kristi Kongi’s large-scale solo exhibition Chromatic Drift is one of the highlights of the Kumu Art Museum’s anniversary year. The exhibition evokes a holistic sensory and spatial experience centred on colour and reflects the artist’s inner journeys over the past few years, during which colour has served to map and preserve both states of mind and memories. The works feature recurring motifs of openings and passages, which reflect a sensory journey to somewhere else, a parallel world.
