Jerszy Seymour - Amateur Workshop 2010

(Viewing at the gallery of modern and contemporary art, Centre Pompidou, Paris)

'Amateur Workshop' forms part of the 'Volcano Projects" series, in which the volcano stands for the eruption of creative energy, is a metaphor for the studio or even the whole collective space of reflection and discussion. Conceived by designer Jerszy Seymour, this installation is the outcome of a performance that offered ' Amateurs' - the amateurs being understood as "lover, Appassionto...non-professional as a way of being" - the possibility of meeting and creating. It makes visible the process of fabrication of the work in constant movement that the coalition of the visitor - 'Amateurs was prompted to construct, assambling pieces of wood and wax to make chairs on which they could sit to reflect together, to talk, to contemplate their surroundings.
