Manuel Vilhena and Castello Hansen: Hands On Imagination

Copenhagen Goldsmiths` Guild has arranged a workshop at Designmuseum Danmark as a part of the Nordic jewellery event, Coolest Corner.
We have invited the goldsmiths Castello Hansen and Manuel Vilhena to run the workshop HANDS ON IMAGINATION. The workshop will be conducted in English.

A four-day workshop exploring the forbidden side of art.
The process of making objects has, in contemporary art, become a subject of almost no relevance. Yet, for things to exist they need to be constructed, wrought, made and to this making pertains a characteristic vocabulary and grammar that independent of any concept or idea, stands on its own.
We will investigate how things are made, how they can be made, and how Making and Thinking, are not, as one might think, two separate entities.

The workshop will comprise two formal lectures, group work and discussions and individual tutorials. Each student will be invited to produce an object.
Castello Hansen and Manuel Vilhena have been working together on occasion for many years, and this joint venture is sure to capture the dynamic qualities that arise from the meeting of two different styles of teaching.
