Children’s Workshop: ‘Free Structure’ in the exhibition ‘Günther Förg. Arbeiten auf Papier / Works on Paper / Oeuvres sur Papier: 1975 – 2009’

Time: 11.30am – 1pm and 2.30 – 4pm
Capacity: Max. 15 (ages 5 – 13yo)

On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Günther Förg. Arbeiten auf Papier / Works on Paper / Oeuvres sur Papier: 1975 – 2009,’ join us for one of two workshops for children and their accompanying adults. This introduction and workshop to Günther Förg’s work is part of the Löwenbräukunst Family Day.

We will begin this event in the exhibition of Förg’s works on paper, which were an integral part of the artist’s multi-disciplinary practice. Informed by modernism, his style evolved from grid paintings into rhythmic, gestural marks that appear to float across his paper, doing away with any previous sense of order. During the workshop, we will investigate Förgs gestural painting style, his use of color and the ways in which he continuously explored the medium of painting.

The Löwenbräukunst Family Day invites you to explore the current exhibitions together and experience art from different perspectives. Our art education studios and workshops are open to everyone, alongside a rich events program for everyone is offered throughout the day, including workshops in which families can get to grips with art in a practical way.

About Günther Förg
Günther Förg was born in 1952 in the region of Allgäu, Germany. His career began in the early 1970s as a student at The Academy of Fine Art Munich. During his studies, Förg developed a practice grounded almost exclusively in grey and black monochrome. These early investigations into gray—also called ‘Gitter’ paintings—demonstrate the beginning of a lifelong commitment to conceptualism.
