Welcome to Marabouparken’s children’s activity the Monster Club! On Sundays and holidays, children from the age of 6 can investigate different artistic techniques, materials and experimental processes. The Monster Club is supervised by professional artists and experienced art educators. Our clubs are based on a special interest in man’s relationship with nature, but are also put in relation to ongoing exhibitions. We ask ourselves questions such as: what is art? What is nature? How does our inner world relate to our outer world? Come and help us answer those questions!

Monster Club Abstract Painting Part 1/3: The Movement of Color
A warm welcome on Sunday, when it’s time to explore the movement of color! We ask ourselves what speed and slowness look like and how the passage of time can be captured in a picture. In what way can the movement of our own body be translated into color? Equipped with various fun tools, you can try painting while you are moving yourself, try to capture the flapping flight of a bird or depict the whizzing speed of a train in the distance…
Please come as early as 1 p.m. as we start the day by looking at the works in the exhibition rooms together, and to secure your place (the number is limited).

The sculptures of thought part 1/3: the flow of everything
From the spring’s thematic sculpture clubs, where nature and our external world were investigated, the participants are guided by shaping inner landscapes into sculptural objects. We get lost in the exciting group exhibition “The Flow of Everything”, among dreams and things, movements and silhouettes, shadows and shapes, and then let ourselves be guided by the spontaneous encounter of thought with material and time. We build and shape in clay and cast in plaster and white concrete. Put on comfortable clothes for a holy afternoon in the flow of everything!

The Monster Club special: Among forests and mirrors
Note! Pre-registration
You are warmly welcome to listen and create together with the musicologist Nicoline Rodrick Solberg and the artist and filmmaker Hannah Wiker Wikström! Based on a number of pieces of music, you will practice listening for action, then interpreting what you have through different materials, techniques and processes. Together you will move in the mysterious borderland between image and music. Is it possible to hear what it looks like in the Bergakungen’s hall? Who really was the witch Baba Jaga and what does a sunset sound like?
Limited number of seats. Free of charge!

Monster Club Textile Stories: The monument of softness
Welcome to explore textile stories with textile artist Avigal Pommert! A new thematic arrangement where, at the first club of the year, we transform the art lab into a soft, fluttering sea of textile wonders. We investigate different artistic methods of processing, reshaping and building with textiles. We sew, cut, glue, glitter and giggle. Together we feel our way, work on a large scale and let both new and old stories emerge, and quietly creep back.
Please be there already at 1 pm!

Monster Club Time Travel: Stone carving
Welcome to explore artistic perspectives on time through different materials, processes and methods. We follow in the footsteps of mothers and fathers, we carve in stone, cut in linoleum, consult self-created oracles and mass-produce our own prints. With a certain amount of magic in the bag, we travel through history to leave our very own mark on it.

Monster Club Sound and noise: Sound sculpture
During the autumn, we continue to explore the potential of sound! How can we create our own sounds in a loud world? What exactly is sound and when does it become music? We practice listening better, translating sound to image and image to sound. We will record sound effects, investigate our own voices, the creaking of the house and the mysterious hum of nature. Welcome to create new sound objects and sound combinations that have never been heard before!

Monster Club: Pop-up at Hallonbergen’s library
Note – free of charge!
During the autumn reading holiday, the Monster Club trots up to the Hallonbergens library for a pop-up workshop in the truest sense of the word! We draw, cut and paste pop-up monsters that will be a hit at the next ghost party! But we also have time to ask ourselves what a monster actually is? What are you afraid of? Why can we be frightened by the unexpected or unknown? Drop-in, pop-up!

Abstract painting: Possible landscapes
What exactly is an abstract painting? During the autumn’s three clubs, you can explore this together with the artist Sofia Heinonen. We examine movement as colour, how emotions can be translated from brush to canvas and how nature can be reinterpreted as abstract painting. No two are the same, there is no right or wrong here. Let the color lead you astray on exciting detours.

Mind Sculpture: Paper-dads
From spring’s sculpture clubs where nature and our external world were investigated, you are welcome to transfer your inner landscapes into sculptural objects during the autumn. Through plaster, clay, white cement, cardboard and found natural materials, we put the world of thought in contact with the rooms we are currently in. Our hands improvise based on sudden whims and look there: a sculpture of thought towers in front of us!

Textile stories: Drypoint engraving
Through the Textile Stories theme, you are invited to explore how fabric and textiles can be used to create alternative worlds, monumental stories and gentle movements. We build on a large scale and sew in the small, we drypoint engrave and create collages that use the whole body. We explore how textiles have been used as artistic materials throughout history. Together with the textile artist Avigal Pommert, you are accompanied through the never-ending stories of textiles.
