Workshop in two parts: fold your own Timaios
In Katharina Kamph’s artwork Timaios hides a paper sculpture. The D-I-Y booklet contains cut sheets with line drawings and construction forms for several tetrahedrons (equilateral triangular pyramids). Cut out and folded, they can be stacked according to the nested doll principle. A container cut from the booklets envelope can hold the nested tetrahedrons and form a kaleidocycle, a closed ring of six triangular pyramids. The finished paper sculpture that can be turned inside out an forms an ever changing universum.
Each participant will build his/her own small movable sculpture. From one Timaios booklet we create a sculpture, cut out, fold and then assemble it. The workshop takes place under the guidance and assistance of the artist Katharina Kamph and is suitable for adults and teenagers from the age of 12 who, with patience and a calm hand, like fiddly things. All tools and materials are provided.
Katharina Kamph is a german visual artist based in Vienna. Her artwork is object-related with a strong affection for paper. Paper as a material is sensitive, vulnerable and ultimately very temporary. By cutting and folding paper, she examines her environment and the everyday life for fundamental properties such as: spatial expansion, multidimensionality, gravity, time and light. Like a dance, Katharina induces with and in relation to objects and invites visitors to dance along. She develops and presents her works in the context of exhibitions, festivals, workshops and community projects.
