Look, this is a Museum! What’s going on during exhibition breaks, or how the museum space is organized

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

DESCRIPTION

There is always a reason to go to a museum. Even if nothing’s on, you can carefully and thoughtfully investigate the building itself, paying attention to its architectural values.

In March 2021, Garage invites junior schoolchildren and their parents to explore the Museum during the exhibition change-over period and find a lot of new, previously unknown things in its space. Drawing on two fundamental fine arts categories—color and texture—participants, together with Garage educator Viktoria Scherbenko, will learn how exciting, inspiring, and vibrant a contemporary art museum, its architecture and non-exhibition spaces—such as Cafe, Bookshop and, of course, corridors and corners—can be!

HOW TO TAKE PART

Free with advance registration.

Children of 8–12 years old and their parents are welcome to participate.

Personal protective equipment (masks and gloves) must be used at the event.

The event is accessible to blind and visually impaired visitors, deaf and hard of hearing visitors, and visitors with a learning disability.

Schedule

Masterclass Texture in the Museum

During the masterclass, participants will explore the space of Garage in an unusual way—through touching; they will examine what materials surround us in different Museum spaces and what kind of textures they possess; and will also reflect, together with pedagogues, on how different materials affect our sensations of a place.

Afterward, each participant will create their own tactile image of the Museum by replacing real textures with unexpected materials available at Garage Kids’ Studio.

Masterclass Color in the Museum

Together with the educators, participants will take a walk through the building looking for different color combinations and create a small series of compositions using mixed media right in the Museum space. The group will observe how color affects the sense of space, what color combinations are used in the architecture of a building, and how the idea of ​​it changes depending on the color scheme of the site: they will discuss impressions left by Garage Atrium, Café, or Bookshop with each other.
