About the event

Professional Learning Teacher Engagement with Lauren Berkowitz
Join artist Lauren Berkowitz and the National Gallery learning team in an active day of professional learning based on Berkowitz’s sculptural practice.

The day will consist of:

An artist talk by Lauren Berkowitz on the installation Bottles, featured in the exhibition Know My Name: Global
Free entry into the exhibition Cézanne to Giacometti
Artmaking activities inspired by Lauren Berkowitz’s practice
A look at our new Lauren Berkowitz online learning resource
Lauren Berkowitz lives and works in Naarm/Melbourne, on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation. Transforming natural and manufactured materials using volume, space and light, her ephemeral and site-specific installations evoke the passage of time, loss and renewal. Often inspired by the landscape, her poetic sculptures invite conversations about environmental fragility, regeneration and sustainability.

Participants will reimagine materials left over from transporting and presenting works of art at the National Gallery, as well as utilising recycled materials that could be sourced from their school or home environment. Work alongside the artist to transform and assemble these materials into an ephemeral installation.

The workshop will give participants opportunities to consider ways of thinking like an artist and reflect on how that could translate into their own context.

We encourage educators to take materials with them at the end of the workshop to continue the project in their classrooms and educational settings.

Engage with Lauren Berkowitz’s creative world and learn about her artistic practice through a shared experimental and playful experience.
