Dvouhodinový workshop odpovídá na potřebu opustit (alespoň dočasně) zónu výkonu a účelnosti většiny našich aktivit a nabízí prostor pro obnovování vnitřní motivace skrz jednoduchou metodu kresby, která nevyžaduje žádné předchozí výtvarné zkušenosti a je otevřená všem.

Odpočinek nutně hraničí s aktivitou.
Nechť je touto aktivitou zakreslování křížků do mřížky papíru, opakovaně a uvolněně.
Ať je tato aktivita bez přívlastku, ať je prostředím, ve kterém se neděje nic mimo nás.
Ať naše vědomí osciluje kolem mřížky, ať se rozpouští v činnosti, u které neznáme její přesný účel.

The 2-hour workshop reflects the need to escape (temporarily at least) the result-and-purpose-oriented zone of our lives. It also offers a space where we can examine our capacities to restore inner motivation through a simple method of drawing, which does not require any previous artistic training and is open to all.

Rest is necessarily tied to activity.
May this activity be criss-crossing the grid of a paper, repeatedly and loosely.
May this activity be without an attribute, may it be a space where nothing is happening outside of our current experience.
Let’s make our mind flow around the grid, and let it dissolve in an activity whose exact purpose we do not know.

Hana and Seiko have gotten in touch because of their current need for cooperation and their mutual interest in the creative process as a process of initiation, as a driving force of all interpersonal relations. They both keep testing the drawing as a tool and implementing different forms of participation. In this workshop, they examine the power of the simple activity of criss-crossing the paper.

Looking like a distraction or entertainment at first sight, this activity makes us face the spaces where „nothing happens“, and where there is quite nothing to be found.
Isn’t it, by contrast, a possible root to our powers, the wellspring of our initiative, which blossoms regardless of all external impulses, demands, and values? We propose a Zero value as a principle of our mind regeneration.
