“Figure-Figure, Ground-Ground”
By CADA

This workshop reconsiders the human perception of figure and background.
For inspiration, we will explore artworks that capture the ambiguities of the ground-ground setting and scenarios that play with the figure-figure, but we will not deal with optical illusions or Gestalt theories.

🐚Participants will devise innovative artistic strategies for their studio work - from the inside out and outside in. The logic behind this workshop has been developed in line with CADA's new 'ground-ground' piece, which understands reality as an integral whole. It introduces the idea that human cognition, like animal cognition, is deeply ecological.

📌 12 & 13 March 2024, from 09:00 to 13:00 GMT (2 sessions x 4h)
