How to View an Artwork is a workshop that playfully dissects the rituals of looking at art. With a touch of irony\, participants rehea rse the familiar gestures of exhibition-going: the tilted head\, the narro wed gaze\, the thoughtful step back—learning a repertoire of “how to ” rhetoric and body language (practical part).
Alongside this\, sh ort theoretical inputs introduce key ideas around the reception of artwork s\, questioning how meaning is produced between object\, context\, and vie wer (theoretical part).
Finally\, the workshop engages directly with the artworks in the exhibition itself\, where conventions such as eye-lev el hanging are disrupted and “authorized” viewing positions are f.e. r eplaced by a mobile bench on wheels. Visitors are invited to actively choo se their vantage point\, shifting from passive spectators to self-determin ed viewers (applied part).
