In this workshop, inspired by Kıymet Daştan’s work in the exhibition Crystal Clear, “I Am Afraid To (Not) Forget” derives from an experimentation with melting discs —archival devices that now are becoming obsolete— creating crystalline disfigurements, we create art with recyclables. The geometric shapes in the materials we select will serve to guide our new design. We view each recyclable as a puzzle piece, create our design through trial and error, and use our imagination as we learn about upcycling and improve our motor skills.

Giacometti & the Human Figure

Giacometti & the Human Figure

Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.  

Giacometti’s Final Works

Giacometti’s Final Works

Giacometti was selected for three important retrospectives at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Gallery in London and the Louisiana Museum of Art in Denmark, all of which were a great success. 

Paris Without End (1959-1965)

Paris Without End (1959-1965)

In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
