Human pendulum paint

Experiment
The Cobra artists loved experimentation and looked for ways to get the paint on the canvas as spontaneously as possible. Karel Appel, for example, slammed his paint forcefully against the canvas, while Asger Jorn thoughtlessly dripped and let the paint follow its own path. Above all, the process was important rather than the result.

The activity
This first edition of Moving Arts will be just as experimental at Museum Cobra and you will be able to paint swinging, hanging in a canvas from the ceiling. Moving back and forth, you will apply paint to the canvas, creating an enormous work of art. As a taster, demonstrations of aerial acrobatics will be given, after which children will take turns helping themselves into the canvas and then painting in a swinging motion.
