12.00 – 4.00pm
Stretching Sessions, Drawing exercises
With Meeting Lines (artistic collective / Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack)
Drawing can be so simple, but it takes practice! In this workshop, you’ll discover new energy and movement for your line work: just like a gym session for your creative drawing muscles. The artist duo Meeting Lines (Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack) will challenge you with a variety of exercises designed to shake up your (viewing) habits and help you overcome your creative blocks: “I’ve got no energy…” This session focuses on the question of whether a perfect physical and productive state for drawing even exists. Whether you’re tired, full of energy or feeling a bit up and down – whatever you bring with you can become the starting point for a vibrant drawing.
Over 100 years ago, the Brücke artists experimented with pen and paper, often using quickly executed drawings and rapid changes of position. We invite you to a workout featuring a variety of exercises such as line cardio, teamwork, sprints, focus, inspiration, stretching and meditation.
Although the workshop will be mainly in German, we mention the languages spoken by the facilitators to make it more accessible. If you don’t feel confident in German, don’t worry — you can still take part.
Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack make up the Berlin-based art duo Meeting Lines. Together, they investigate critical collective processes at the intersection of human/environment and self-education/art. To this end, they develop site-specific drawing practices that involve copying, improvising and playing. The reuse of materials is central to their arts education work as well as their artistic practice.
Marcos García Pérez studied fine arts at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and graduated from the UdK Berlin (Berlin University of the Arts) in 2020 in the Art in Context programme. Since then, he has worked as an independent artist and art educator.
After earning a B.A. in fashion design, Carla Schliephack was a master student in the Sculpture Department at the weißensee academy of art berlin, a programme she continues to promote. Through further training as a systemic coach, she now works as an art educator and freelance artist in Berlin.
