With Meeting Lines (artist collective / Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack)
Drawing can be so easy, but it takes practice. In this workshop, you will find new dynamism and movement for the lines you draw – much like a gym workout for your creative drawing muscles. The artist duo Meeting Lines (Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack) challenge you with a variety of exercises to break your (visual) habits and help you move beyond creative blocks. More than a century ago, the Brücke artists showed us how when they invented the “quarter-hour nude”, in which rapid sketching and a quick change of positions became their motto. We invite you to a workout that includes various exercises, such as line cardio, teamwork, sprints, focus, inspiration, stretching, and meditation.
Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack make up the Berlin-based art duo Meeting Lines. Together, they investigate critical collective processes at the intersection of human/environment and self-education/art. To this end, they develop site-specific drawing practices that involve copying, improvising and playing. The reuse of materials is central to their arts education work as well as their artistic practice.
Marcos García Pérez studied fine arts at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and graduated from the UdK Berlin in 2020 in the Art in Context programme. Since then, he has worked as an independent artist and art educator.
After earning a B.A. in fashion design, Carla Schliephack was a master student in the Sculpture Department at the weißensee academy of art berlin, a programme she continues to promote. Through further training as a systemic coach, she now works as an art educator and freelance artist in Berlin.
