Dramatized Concert

On stage

Special Day for Museum Members

In this dramatized concert, Hegoak (Wings), Kulunka Teatro brings three performers on stage: Iñaki Salvador (piano), Maider Zapirain (cello), and Garbiñe Insausti (actress and singer).
Hegoak is a musical and emotional journey revisiting well-known songs, from the tunes sung by Mikel Laboa or Imanol to international songs popularized by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, or Kurt Weill. The theatrical setting makes the show much more than a concert, including texts by Fernando Pessoa and Federico García Lorca, as well as brief stories or anecdotes about the songs and the songwriters.
Time: 5:30 pm 
Duration: 80 min. 
Target audience: Families 
Languages: Spanish and Basque 
Limited seating available

Restauration and Art in Motion

This is a two-part activity, focusing on artwork restoration and shipping. First of all, we will take a look at the Museum’s sculpture storage, where we will find the sacks from Jannis Kounellis’s installation in the Collection. Then, we will visit the building’s loading dock and take a look at a specialized truck for artwork transportation.
Are you familiar with Untitled, the installation by Greek artist Jannis Kounellis in the Museum Collection? In this tour, you will see how the 120 burlap sacks that make this Arte Povera masterpiece are handled for conservation: the sewing of the original holes and the use of polyester bags inside to reinforce their structure and increase their durability.
Artwork transportation is a delicate process, done by specialized firms who keep the art safe and sound while it is being shipped. For ground transportation, special vehicles are used, furnished with state-of-the-art technology, in addition to the crates needed to handle the pieces with care. In this tour, you will visit the Museum’s loading dock and take a look at one of these trucks. In sum, you will dive into the backstage of art logistics, from the moment when an artwork is loaned to the moment when it is displayed in one of our galleries.

Christmas Workshops: Water, a Source of Inspiration (ages 3–5)gua, fuente de inspiración 

Families

Family Holiday Season

Children and Families

In these workshops, we will look to water as a source of inspiration, learning, and fun, and as a tool in the creative process. The workshops consist of fun activities exploring the connections between art, Christmas, and water.
In the artworks we will see, water is used as subject or technique. Hilma af Klint, for instance, used the wet-on-wet painting medium in some of her works, applying layers of wet paint on previous wet layers of paint. Fujiko Nakaya’s fog sculptures, including the one in the Museum, are made entirely of water.
The workshops have been designed to raise awareness of the importance of water and show how to care for it, while encouraging reflection on the feelings associated with water and Christmas. This will then be used in the creation of works of art where colors flow and mix freely or where water appears in various states, including solid state, as in snow.
Conducted by: Mónica Rodríguez-Curiel, Mónica Martínez, Andere Etxegarai, Maider Ugarte
