The workshop is inspired by the work of Barbara Kasten from the Post-Abstraction exhibition. Participants will create their own abstract compositions using thin sheets of Plexiglas, experimenting with shape, color, and light. The goal is to explore the relationship between form, space, and light, foster creativity, and observe how individual elements interact within a space. The works will then be photographed, and interested participants can combine their forms into a shared mini-installation, showcasing the results of collaboration and experimentation.

Workshop inspired by the exhibition Barbara Kasten. Post-abstraction.
