"Energy: Yes! Quality: No!" is one of my guidelines as an artist. It is an affirmation, it is something constitutive for my work and I have always been faithful to it. "Energy: Yes!" is the assertion that things which have their own energy are important. Energy is what counts, Energy is what I can grasp, Energy is what I can share and Energy is what is Universal. "Energy: Yes!" is a statement for movement, for the dynamic, for invention, for activity, for the activity of thinking.
Thomas Hirschhorn
The workshop is an occasion for the artist to think about the idea of the School. According to Thomas Hirschhorn, the "School" is a commitment in being present, producing something together and sharing time together, being engaged toward the other participants, whereas each participant is important equally, even more than the "professor".
For the workshop each participant brings an input --- it can be any type of a work or activity --- something coming from her/himself: a text, an original painting, a drawing, a song, a collage, a sculpture, a performance, a video on USB-stick or anything else that participants would like to share.
The participant chooses only one work knowing that it will be discussed and judged according to the criteria "Energy: Yes! Quality: No!" together with all of the participants of the workshop. The critical workshop is aimed at working out our own judgement, towards our own work, and towards the work of others as well.
Who can participate in the workshop? EVERYONE ! This workshop is open to everyone, not only artists!
If you are willing to take part in the workshop, you agree to:
It is necessary that everyone who signed in for the workshop, should be present the full time and attend every work with presentations and judgements.
Thomas Hirschhorn's workshops and lecture are made possible thanks to the support of the Grynyov Art Collection.
