Have you ever wondered what’s behind everyday phenomena? Shall we explore beyond the visible? In this workshop, inspired by the exhibition Crystal Clear, we examine and question these phenomena. We look at objects and ask from a philosophical perspective what they mean for us, how we perceive them, and how they were named. We improve our abstract and concrete thinking, as well as our oral communication skills.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
