symposium - CHILDREN'S LABYRINTH
After two weeks working in the symposium CHILDREN'S LABYRINTH most of the
work is done. A neglected area of the LABYRINTH is transformed to a special
place for children. Here they can go around and find the spaces, objects and
paths the artists have created. This LABYRINTH is made to go in, to play and to
add also something. The LABYRINTH will never be finished, it is a growing
project and after the artists also the children are invited to participate in
it.
In contrast with the regular part of the LABYRINTH, this part is not clear
up, the area has to be inviting to start doing something. If children want to
reorganize a part for themselves it is possible, they can use the material what
is left.
The artists have added art works which fits in the space. Constructed walls
and a light tower; different creatures coming from different directions;
objects that invite to go in, to swing or to let them balance. With and through
these art works children can feel their relation with nature and art. It
appeals on their imagination and invites to interact.
The place can be useful for school programs, but also for families to let
their children have great experiences.
The opening of the new part of the LABYRINTH is on Saturday May 29 at 15.00.
