Janelle Iglesias: Miniature GIANTS August 19, 2012

Artist Janelle Iglesias will lead a workshop for children and families to create abstract geometric sculptures inspired by Mark di Suvero's exhibition at Governors Island. Instead of steel, this workshop will use simple recycled household materials, such as tubes, plastic caps, string, wire, paper, and cardboard to create whimsical sculptures with simple moveable parts. Participants will investigate scale by considering di Suvero's sculptures in relation to the size of their own bodies. By first creating tiny versions of themselves as measuring tools, participants will then build miniature gigantic sculptures. Meet at Storm King's Visitor Center, Building 315.
