This workshop is based on The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition, in which the imaginative connotations of the concepts of heavy and light are experienced through movement and dance. Dancing with the guidance of the visually animated images by focusing on co-creation, the children experience the “lightness” and “heaviness” of the movement playfully. Children embark on a curious journey to the exciting ways of co-creation in the company of different art disciplines.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
