Amateur Workshop forms part of the “Volcano projects” series, in which the volcano, standing for the eruption of creative energy, is a metaphor for the studio or even the whole collective space of reflection and discussion. Conceived by designer Jerszy Seymour, this installation is the outcome of a performance that offered “amateurs” – the amateur being understood as “lover, appassionato… non-professional as a way of being” – the possibility of meeting and creating. It makes visible the process of fabrication of the work in constant movenent that the coalition of visitor-amateurs was prompted to construct, assembling pieces of wood with wax to make chairs on which they could sit to reflect together, to talk, to contemplate their surroundings.
