Can we make art on a computer? This question has excited many artists over the years and led to the creation of a wide range of artworks with coding, from simple geometric shapes to images that move with artificial intelligence. In the workshop, participants experience recreating the works of Vera Molnár, one of the pioneers of algorithmic art, by adding their interpretations. Creating random colors and symmetries on a digital canvas, participants explore the sources of creativity in art through programming.
Note: Participants are not expected to have prior programming knowledge. The p5.js programming language will be used online, and there is no need for participants to install any programs on their tablets or computers.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
