The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to an event centered on the exhibition “Sculpture Beyond the Solid” designed specifically for teachers.
We’ll start with a guided tour of the exhibition, followed by demonstration workshops. During these workshops, we’ll present selected activities that we typically conduct with groups during our classes.
This event is ideal both for those who plan to visit us with their class in the coming months and for those who are simply looking for inspiration for their own projects in the field of arts education.
The exhibition “Sculpture Beyond the Solid” presents contemporary sculpture in a completely new and surprising light. Durability, permanence, and perfection are no longer the primary goals of the artists. In an ever-changing world, sculpture is moving away from the form of a heavy, immobile monument. Instead, it is becoming a fascinating arrangement of processes, tensions, and relationships.
The exhibition brings together works by international artists who boldly experiment with materials. It surprises with its form, and—importantly for the dynamics of a group tour—the works are not confined to traditional exhibition halls. The sculptures break free from their frames, “spilling out” into the museum’s corridors and common areas.
How do we work with students at the exhibition?
Our educational program provides a space for physical and creative activity. We use these unusual forms as a starting point to:
- develop spatial imagination and constructive thinking,
- stimulating sensory awareness (exploring textures, weight, and tension),
- learning to collaborate and observe ongoing processes attentively.
