Join the artist Lazar Lyutakov for a special workshop exploring the possibilities of making lamps from plastic vessels. Lyutakov’s ‘Lamp Series’ is an ongoing project started in 2006. The sculptures see mass-produced plastic bowls and cups transformed as lamps that hang in constellations.
This workshop is organised in conjunction with our current exhibition ‘Lebt und arbeitet in Wien’ for which Lyutakov was commissioned to make a major new work for Kunsthalle Wien’s Ziegelfoyer.
The logic of industrially manufactured everyday objects and the history of design – from modernism to the present – become the raw material for a creative process. We will experiment with material, light, colour and composition to develop unique objects with a functional purpose.
With “new vulcanicity” force, industry produced a “new geology”. Thus matter, without random eruption or sedimentation, acquires a transfigured reality of its own. For a dumb prehistory, sparring of traces and reasons, this “industrial age” gives man an image of victorious peregrination.
