We're doing an archaeological dig at the museum! Participants first reflect on what archaeology is and its methods, then try to uncover the traces of the past by following the basic principles of archaeology in the miniature excavation areas in the workshop. In the workshop, where different stages such as sifting the soil, recording the stratigraphy, taking photographs, drawing the trenches and filling the excavation diary will be carried out with teamwork, the participants finally interpret their findings and talk about the importance of archaeology.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
