Art History Classes for Children by Stéphanie Ghazal and Marie Muracciole

“I Am Sitting in a Chair” is a series of four educative and entertaining sessions on Art History lead by Marie Muracciole and Stéphanie Ghazal. In addition to discussions, each session will include film screenings, practical exercises and games.

The “chair” will be the theme through which Modern Art history and today’s Art works will be addressed, from Picasso’s “Still Life with Chair Caning” (1912) to Jumana Manna’s “Grandma” (2015). Taking the year 1912 as a turning point in the conception of modernity, we will draw on the various elements involved in Picasso’s Still Life with Chair Caning to explore the diversification of artistic practices in the 20th century: photography, cinema, the (household) object, abstraction, etc.
