I'm running a collage workshop at an all-day event, held at Southampton Solent University on Thursday October 30th, on the power and influence of collage. My workshop will invite participants to tell me something I don't already know.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT!
The Encyclopaedia of
Things I Didn’t Know
In his quest to compile a comprehensive encyclopaedia of
things he didn’t know, collage artist Graham Rawle invites you to provide him
with a fascinating fact to add to his archive. It can come from the world of
science, history or nature—or it could be something personal: your father’s hat
size, the opening hours of your local Costcutter, or what your Auntie Maureen
likes to spread on her toast. From the astounding to the trivial, all of the
collected facts will be gathered together in a giant online encyclopaedia,
providing a fountain of knowledge to delight and enthral all of humanity.
HOW TO TAKE PART
At the I Did Not Know
That! collage workshop, each participant will have access to scissors, glue
and an exciting range of magazines containing every word or image he or she
might need to create a special collage. Each completed piece of artwork will be
photographed for inclusion in an online archive and displayed during the
workshop in an ever-expanding wall frieze of little-known facts. Your
contribution can play a vital part in building this extraordinary archive: The Encyclopaedia of Things I Didn’t Know.
More details and list of speakers can be found here. BOOK NOW!
