Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
After seeing the repetitive colorful motifs in the videos and paintings in the exhibitions Calculations and Coincidences and In Search of Vera Molnár, the children transform the repetitive and symmetrical motifs of these works into printing molds using materials such as buttons, matches, and string, which they place in simple algorithmic patterns. Applying the motifs on paper by painting them in a different color each time, the children obtain various algorithmic sequences from the same motifs.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
