Built over months by Rafał Łazar, our workshop is the core of SAVVY Contemporary’s exhibition making. This is where designs, ideas, tools and equipment of our exhibition-making in its tangible sense labours. This vulnerable and generative space will be held by Rafał Łazar and Willem Van den Hoek who invite you to create seating systems of gathering. You are welcome to bring ideas, tools and labour to build together.
RAFAŁ ŁAZAR is a multidisciplinary cultural worker.
WILLEM VAN DEN HOEK works with wood, creating functional and artistic large-scale structures, furniture, and minimalist objects. Sustainability is fundamental to his work. He has designed and developed works for SAVVY Contemporary, Spore Initiative, Berlinale's Forum Expanded, Hebbel am Ufer, and Hamburger Bahnhof, among other institutions, by reusing materials and salvaging/reinventing existing wooden structures. He has also been involved in social & artistic community projects with S27 Kunst und Bildung, Netzwerk Nachsorge (NeNa e.V.), Trial and Error and Kotti Shop Project Space.
This workshop is part of the exhibition project LABO*R which takes place within our 15-months-long programme TRANSITIONS, funded by Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.
