For a couple of months, we’ve been meeting for scrap nights, and it has always felt like the best part of the party, the cozy kitchen part \u2014 kettle whistling over and over again, soup smelling more and more like the spices we keep adding, people endlessly lingering by the door because we want the party to last, we want the soup to keep boiling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So. Let’s keep it boiling for longer. Temporarily forever, until it saves us<\/em> or at least until November, so that you all have the chance to come and add something, with your own two hands (and hearts that know kindness), so we can all see it grow and transform and feed us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What is art if not a soup, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liquid and nutritious and rich and diverse and makeshift and shapeshifting and ancient and warm and welcoming and communal and necessary and ongoing. What is Eternal Scrap Night<\/em> if not a silly little (kitchen) room for our silly little crafts. A 3rd space for 2-dimensional artworks, a hangout spot and an uncurated experience. A 350 hours long live “making kin from scratch” tutorial, a creative experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The crafts in question are of course scrappy, so familiar it’s comforting, so diverse it’s inspiring: it’s collage<\/em><\/strong>. Collaging boils down to sharing and connecting, re-constructing in hundreds different ways and with various techniques that we would love to explore together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So for three weeks, starting from October 16th, at 17:30, the walls of the balcony gallery are all yours<\/strong>. Come anytime, with your friends, with your kids, with your dog, with or without ideas. Have a sit, take a break, look through our scraps. Cut, glue, rip, add, stick, ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 16.Oct at 17.30 \u2014 “Eternal Scrap Night<\/em>” Opening<\/strong> x Scrap Night vol. 13: Scrap Portraits<\/strong> 19.10 at 17.30 \u2014 Paper Poems with Fahrenheit 451<\/strong> 25.10 at 17.30 \u2014 Scrap Night vol. 14: Paper Ripping (Kidcore Edition)<\/strong> 30.10 at 17.30 \u2014 Scrap Night vol. 15: Trash Collage<\/strong> 08.11 at 18.30 \u2014 Closing Event: Paper Soup Party<\/strong> ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n NB!<\/mark><\/strong> Like any good soup, the eternal scrap night creation is made to be shared; any artwork you put on the wall belongs to the community<\/strong>. You can try to get your original piece back during the closing event, but we give no guarantees! <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the next 3 weeks, the kitchen belongs to all of us; the art process is messy and we want to keep it that way! However, we also want to keep it functioning. Please, only leave behind art and scraps<\/strong>, and let us know if you notice that something is needed \u2014 more glue, scraps, scissors, or replacing a broken chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We trust you to be mindful of what you add to the soup<\/strong>. Food for thoughts is greatly welcome, hard nuts to crack are nutritious! racism, trans- and homophobia, and otherwise bigotry are not edible and would need to be fished out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative is a part of a voluntary project carried out by TYPA’s educational manager Karoliina and ESC volunteer Asia. The aim of it is to reduce paper scraps and engage the public in creative activities in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n R\u00f5dugalerii is at Aparaaditehas courtyard, through door nr 7 on the second floor! It is open from Wed-Sun, 12:00-18:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16652,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[88,70],"class_list":["post-16655","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rodugalerii-en","category-workshops"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nsteal<\/s>, layer, weave. Play with words and pictures in all sizes and colours. Stir the pot, spice it up, have fun. Test the (boiling) waters, let it cook<\/em>, and most importantly, be yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party begins at 17:30 on Thursday 16.10. we will be waiting for you with hot tea, delicious snacks and an invitation to start with collaging our portraits on the gallery walls (but frankly, we welcome all and every collage idea)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as much as with pictures, we encourage you to play with words! Fahrenheit 450\u00b0 booknook volunteer Emma will share her passion for poetry and invite everyone to collage a few lines of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our scrap community should be as open as possible, so we would love to invite more families to participate! Ripping paper is much more friendly than cutting it, so don\u2019t hesitate to come with your children, grandchildren, little cousins or siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s never enough of scraps \u2014 for this event we would love you to bring your own paper waste and prove that it doesn’t matter whether you work with book illustrations or old coffee packages \u2014 anything can be made into an art piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party never ends, however, on 08.11 we will need to let others take over our kitchen. starting from 17:30. Let\u2019s celebrate it with one last hangout \u2014 together, we will be taking down all the collages, and whatever was not saved will be lost<\/s><\/em> made into a soup. (the soup will have further adventures, too, but to find out more you\u2019ll have to be there!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
