You are warmly invited to our life drawing session inside the exhibition 'Ouvrages de Dames' by Ariane Toussaint.

For two hours two models will pose while bathing in the pools of coloured light, acting out a choreography in the space that will contrast the abstract nature of Ariane's textile works. The drawing session will echo the colour and geometry of the works by allowing the audience to draw it in relation to the human body. It will also help consider themes of privacy, intimacy and vulnerability that occur when thinking about curtains and the naked body.

Details:

Sunday 19th October

14:00-16:00

€5-15 sliding scale

30 spaces

Drawing materials provided

This workshop is supported by Stroom Den Haag.

Nice Flaps is an artist initiative formed with the unanimous aim to gather and observe together, to provide time to concentrate, to look, to be, without an outcome in mind other than contemplation itself.

We offer non-taught, experimental drawing events generally with a model, perhaps two; mostly naked, sometimes in costume; alone in the room, or mingling among props and sets. We collaborate with artists, institutions, and other artist-run spaces, and challenge the parameters of life drawing by asking: What does it mean to draw from life? How can it affect our daily perception of the world? Our programme therefore expands beyond traditional life drawing that technically trains artists, instead creating comfortable welcoming spaces where first-timers and regulars alike can take part in an art event and share a collective moment with others.

Nice Flaps has been running since 2019 and is organised and curated by artists Annemarie Wadlow (UK) and Alejandra López Martínez (ES).
