The school groups are challenged to explore together what these sculptures mean to them. They discover what makes someone ‘ordinary’ and how you can ‘capture’ a movement. And how long would they be willing to wait for their sweetheart?
Artists: Antoine Bourdelle, Marta Pan, Auguste Rodin, Jean Dubuffet, Giuseppe Penone, Gerrit Rietveld, Ad Dekkers, Umberto Boccioni, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Oswald Wenckebach and Jan Fabre.
