The Magic of Repetition

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • November 16, 2024 / 10:30

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).

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

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.

The man is depicted in three-quarters view, turning straight to the viewers with a penetrating glance. The background is grey, while the clothes, the hair, and cap are black.

It can be seen how Goya gradually and constantly investigated all the technical possibilities of creative engraving from etching to lithography.
