A SENSE OF PLACE
SITE SPECIFIC ART WORKSHOP IN PUBLIC SPACE
BY NINA WORREN (NW GALLERY CPH)
21.–24.5.
This immersive workshop is for photography-based artists interested in place,
presence, and perception. Working with their surroundings, the
participants will use senses, memory, and intuition as tools for
artistic exploration. Through individual and collective processes,
participants will create a large-scale collage wall together – composed of images, texts,
drawings, paintings, found materials, textures, and fragments. The wall
will evolve over the three days, gradually blending individual works
into a shared, common landscape. The sharing collage is inspired by the surrealist movement and their union of the dream and reality worlds. During the workshop participants will also have an individual mentoring meeting with Nina Worren.
Nina Worren (DK/NO) is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and educator, working mainly in the field of photography, video, text, and collage, with a strong passion for the artist book as form, content and object. She is interested in topics that touch on human conditions, identity, heritage, intimate relationships, the connection between body and mind, and our relationship with nature.
In 2017 she founded NW Gallery & Project Room CPH.
