In the Making #5: Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian, Experiencing Text and Textile. In
this session researchers Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian ask the following
questions: How does light feel on the body? What sort of togetherness is there
in reading text?
They will explore tangible and intangible experiences of voice and textile
light. In their practice, both artists are interested in ways of communicating
aesthetic experience. Procedures of documentation and transmission bring up
questions concerning audience, spectatorship and participation in the art field
and artistic research. We aim to open up for participative thinking and valuing
aesthetic and experiential knowledge of ourselves and others.
Artist and designer Barbro Scholz deals with experiential qualities of tangible
(textiles) and intangible (light) materials, and how their interplay invites for
novel forms of performativity.
Performer and artist Li Lorian is interested in practices of reading text, to
oneself and outloud, voicing and finding new means of commonality. Both of them
have an interest in movement, affect, and entanglement to be investigated in a
playful, participatory, collaborative research. This session is a great
opportunity for them to find ways to share their yet unformulated thoughts in an
experiential method with an audience.

IN THE MAKING
The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art
Institute West Den Haag are pleased to announce their close collaboration in the
new public series ‘In the Making’. In six public sessions they will present to
the public different practices of research in the arts.
Artistic production has always expressed the forms in which we know, explore,
and sense the world we live in. The current practice of research in the arts
consciously assumes this exploration. In the past decades the focus on research
in the domain of the arts has grown – as well as its role in universities and
other research contexts – expressing its engagement with the realities of the
world at large.
‘In The Making’ will address how artists conduct their research. Guest artist
researchers and artist researchers from Leiden University will present their
projects, approaches to research, methods and results. Each session will address
questions inherent to these projects. ‘In The Making’ aims to deepen a
perspective which conceives of artistic practice not as the sole product of
individual visionaries but as a collective endeavor embedded in society. It
addresses the role of art in the construction of the present and the creation of
possible futures.
Familie-expeditie naar het Mauritshuis: 'Hallo Vermeer!'

Description
Het is 200 jaar geleden dat het Mauritshuis - ooit gebouwd als woonhuis voor graaf Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen - een museum werd. Dit jubileum vieren we in de zomervakantie samen met jou. Familie-expedities vertrekken vanuit verschillende bibliotheken naar het Mauritshuis en daar duik je in de wereld van Johannes Vermeer. Je bent van harte welkom om mee te gaan op avontuur!
Johannes Vermeer
Ontdek in het Mauritshuis de wereld van de beroemde en mysterieuze schilder Johannes Vermeer. Welke verf gebruikte hij in zijn schilderijen? Hoe speelde hij met licht? En wie was toch dat meisje met de parel? Leuke activiteiten laten kinderen kennismaken met deze beroemde 17e-eeuwse kunstenaar. Kijkend en knutselend kom je van alles over hem te weten.
Programma
De expeditie begint in de bibliotheek. Een oude stadsbus haalt je daar op. Je vertrekt vervolgens naar het Mauritshuis waar je het museumprogramma kunt volgen. Na afloop brengen we je terug naar de bibliotheek.
Reserveren
Twintig personen kunnen mee in de bus, dus reserveer op tijd een plekje. Kinderen vanaf 6 jaar zijn van harte welkom. Zorg wel voor minimaal één volwassene als begeleider per drie kinderen. Zeg als je verhinderd bent op tijd af via scheveningen@bibliotheekdenhaag.nl, zodat anderen een kans hebben om mee te gaan!
