This time we will practice asking questions inside the exhibition Sick and Desiring at Hordaland kunstsenter. Within the workshop we will focus on the questions that spring to mind, the curiosities we contain, the confusions we have, the unclarities and the unknowns. Its a chance to practise asking questions without feeling like we need to formulate any answers. We will be practising asking questions through sitting inside the exhibition and sketching in our individual sketchbooks
The School of Questions is a platform for learning and research within Bergen Assembly, open to anyone, regardless of skills, age or experience. The School of Questions turns the notion of a school upside-down to focus on questioning rather than providing answers. It is a weekly meeting point where we gather straight from school or work every Tuesday between 3pm and 5pm. Each participant receives a sketchbook where they can gather their thoughts, ideas, questions and responses. Anyone is welcome to join for free, once or regularly.
Over the course of ten weeks, through curiosity and play, The School of Questions will grapple with the concepts and topics proposed by the artworks on display and events happening during Bergen Assembly. Together with artist and educator Stacy Brafield, participants are invited to look, listen, talk and mark-make; from paint strokes on paper to the traces your body leaves behind while walking through the exhibition. We will not be seeking answers, but will inquisitively find and learn how to ask further questions.
