Art Club with Viljar Irtun Moe
Project
Sunday 11 September 2022, 13:00 – 18:30
In the workshop with Tiril Hasselknippe, we worked on creating our own worlds. We focused on what we ourselves would include in our own fantasy world, by drawing, painting or sculpting in modeling clay. The focus was not on making something perfect, but on expressing ourselves.
Art Club is part of Kunsthall Stavanger's main educational activities, which aims to introduce kids to contemporary art in a fun and accessible way. Here, we explore what contemporary art is, and what kind of experiences and tools we can bring from art into our everyday lives. Kids between 1st to 8th grade meet and work with artists during four workshops, getting together one Sunday a month over the course of a semester. The kids also get to explore our exhibitions together with our skilled educators. At the end of the semester we organise an exhibition, open to family and friends.
During this Autumn’s Art Club, we focus on the joy, the experimental, and the creative that we find online. Inspired by Kunsthall Stavanger's new digital platform that launched in September, we'll explore how digital surfaces and tools can be a place for experiments and the creation of art forms.

Tiril Hasselknippes kunstnerskap er forankret i en verden der personlig utforskning kombineres med sosiopolitisk tekning, ofte i en post-apokalyptisk forestilling.
