1,095: WORKSHOPS with Los Angeles
based artist Bari Ziperstein
Workshops: Tuesday
May 29 & Friday 1 June, 2-5pm
At : Bristol Hub, College Green, Bristol.
Be
a part of the people’s design history of Bristol by participating in a two-day
performance workshop with Los Angeles based artist, Bari Ziperstein. This workshop is being held in conjunction
with Ziperstein’s Bristol Biennial project ‘1,095: One Year’s Worth of Other
People’s Plates’ in which she will construct a sculptural mandala formed of
stupas made from donated plates.
In
these limited seated workshops, a week prior to
the Biennial she will conduct two collaborative workshops with local Bristol
residents from disparate backgrounds enabling them to engage in dialogue about
the nature of site, history and storytelling.
Bristol residents will develop oral histories which will be performed
while Ziperstein builds the mandala on the College Green. These performances will convey some of the
history of the area to onlookers, more specifically connecting history and
identity to the plates on display. These
participants will develop and be paid a modest honorarium to perform their
monologues during the building of the mandala.
These monologues will be recorded and available on Ziperstein’s project
website for future generations to listen to.
We only have a few places left, please email contact@bristolbiennial.com to further information or to register interest.
