MAK-it! INK LAB
With artist Christina Doerfler
Workshop for adults (from 17 years)
Everywhere, all around us—in the kitchen, in the garden, on the way to work, on a walk through the woods, near a building site—you can gather plants and other materials suitable for making ink. After a short tour in the MAK Design Lab, in this workshop participants explore a range of methods for making ink and juice dyes from plant materials. We use wood, nuts, berries, special dye plants, food waste, household materials, and natural bonding agents. Together we discover the color spectrum of extracted plant dyes and test how they may be used to create art, utilizing a range of painting and drawing utensils applied to different types of paper.
Limited number of participants.
Workshop fee: regular € 30 (incl. admission), reduced € 24 (for MAK Annual Ticket Holders, (young)MAK and MARS Members)

MAK Geymüllerschlössel

In the Geymüllerschlössel, a Biedermeier-era gem in Vienna-Pötzleinsdorf, the MAK presents original furniture from the first half of the 19th century, Old-Viennese clocks from the Franz Sobek Collection, as well as contemporary approaches to fashion as part of the series (CON)TEMPORARY FASHION SHOWCASE. As second position in the 2023 series, Flora Miranda is visiting the Geymüllerschlössel with her futuristic creations. Technical perfection is a central element of her work, not only in terms of craftsmanship. Her technology-savvy designs are also conceptually focused on topics like artificial intelligence or big data, as well as innovative technologies and materials in fashion.
