The upcoming Saturday Kids Lab will focus on ”Plecos”, Gilad Ratman’s solo exhibition currently on view at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo. In the first part of the workshop aimed for kids with their parents, we will visit the exhibition that spreads across both floors of the center, in which the artist presents an ambitious installation encompassing video, sound, programmed doors, and wet clay. We will begin with viewing the film that shows two groups of Plecos, and a journey to the insides of their bodies, made with 3D animation. We will experience and explore the accompanying sound, and the structure of moving glass doors, inside which the movie is shown. We will continue the tour on the upper floor, where we will encounter a group of large scale wet clay sculptures.

Following this exploration, we will do a hands-on activity inspired by the exhibition’s ideas, during which the parents and kids will create a wet clay stop-motion animation movie together.

Towards the workshop please download in advance the free app stop motion studio.
