Join artists Johannes Hugo Stoll and Lilian Ptáček for a hands-on workshop exploring how discarded market waste can be broken down and reimagined as handmade paper, colour pigments and imagery. In this temporary paper factory we invite you to chew, stew and pulp as we think through digestion, decomposition and reuse.
During the workshop we will demonstrate different methods for creating pulp from waste materials and turning food waste into pigments as well as techniques for creating handmade paper. After which you are invited to use the Digestive Press to create your own artworks. The workshop concludes with a relaxed sharing of the results, accompanied by music, drinks, and snacks.
We will begin with a collective vegetarian lunch as we introduce the workshop – please send by email an rsvp to [email protected] to help us keep track of lunch numbers 🙂 If you are unable to attend the workshop you are very welcome to arrive later during our experimenting and festive presentation moment!
Johannes Hugo Stoll is an artist working along the intersection of ingestion, digestion and historical and societal narratives.
Lilian Ptáček’s art practice centres around material concerns, exploring the interplay between inward and outward, public and private, in relation to the human body and urban environments.
Waste Simmers is a series of collaborations and events organised by artist, gardener and avid composter Kate Price at the Afrikaanderwijk Coöperatie’s Grondstoffenstation to explore possibilities of their collected ‘wastes’.
