August 16 – Your Dream House Made of Paper

In the exhibition “Dandy, Decadence, Modernity,” you will discover extraordinary living ideas, elegant furniture, and artistic designs from the 19th century. How did people live back then? What colors, patterns, and shapes did they like best? Inspired by these ideas, you will create your own pop-up paper house! Using a variety of colorful materials, you will design imaginative fold-out houses complete with tiny rooms, furniture, and charming details. Whether it’s a magnificent villa, a cozy dream home, or a mysterious artist’s studio, there are no limits to your imagination.

September 20 – Above, Below, and Bursting with Color

In the exhibition “paperwork. jumping he. blackbox #18,” you will discover the creative power of paper. Lines, shapes, and colors come together to form images, much like in the art of weaving. Using colorful strips of paper, you will create your own graphic artwork. The strips are woven over and under one another, shifted, and combined in different ways. Whether neat and geometric or colorful and wildly mixed, each piece becomes a unique work of art full of pattern, color, and creativity.
