ENFANT
En udstilling af tegninger lavet af børn til børn og voksne!
Søndag D. 9 november er der en fantastisk mulighed for dig og dine børn for at nyde en dag med poesi, cirkus, oplæsning, workshops, udstillinger, og meget andet i de smukke lokaler i Odd Fellow Palæet.
Vi åbner dørene kl. 11:00 og fra klokken 12:00 til 17:00 er der et program, der er virkelig spændende for børn i alderen 4 til 12 år.
Her kan blandt andet nævnes oplæsning af den populære børnebogsforfatter Sia Sophia Schjerning og en udstilling af kunst lavet af Børn fra Grønland og børn fra lokalområdet.
Sidst nævnte er en del af en fortsat udstilling fra 2013 i galleri UNDERWAERK, ENFANT, hvor målet er at samle 1000 Børnetegninger fra hele verden, for at sammenligne motiv, form og farver, og se om der er ting der går igen, og hvilke, uanset baggrund og nationalitet.
Som voksne har i samtidig mulighed for at gå på opdagelse i udstillingen for voksne, der er skabt af kunstnere fra mere end 8 lande, imens børnene deltager i workshops, optræder, leger, og ser kunst for børn og af børn.
En rigtig god dag for familien!
Denne artikel af Bill B beskriver meget godt børns evne til at se lige igennem det hele. Netop en af grundende til, at vi har lagt vægt på, at der også skal være plads til børn, til dette års art aid. Vi kan lære meget af dem

A Violinist in the Metro
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
