2008 International Artist in Residence Katharina Weishäupl

Using the Lower Gallery as her studio, International Artist in Residence Katharina Weishäupl will be making sculptures with children that "reference their experiences as immigrants to dunedin" (Weishäupl). The project is a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect with art and learn from an international artist with experience in children's art education, while also allowing them to be physically involved in a group project and create their own artworks.

15 March onward: Workshop with children

Thursday 17 April 2009: Artist Talk

Wenesday 2 April: Lecture 'Performance Art in Germany'

Katharina works as a Art Educator in the children's education department of the House der Kunst Museum in Munich Germany with children of all ages (see www.hausderkunst.de). Her work focuses on the development of a child's visual perceptions as a way of boosting self confidence, imagination and creative capacities through the independent production of artwork.

Based in Munich, Weishaeupl studied and tutored at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, completed her Masters of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art and has exhibited throughout Germany, Holland, Switzerland and Scotland.
