‘Hans/Jean Arp & Sophie Taeuber-Arp -Interactive guided tours for schools or associations’

Bozar’s interactive guided tours emphasise pupils’ personal experience. An enthusiastic guide invites them to analyse images, think critically and express an argument through exercises and group discussions. Their exploration of the works of art includes contextualising the exhibition and its relationship with current events. Are you currently working on a specific theme or project? Let us know. Our guides tailor their tours to suit each class and your expectations.  

Pupils will:  
✓ Develop their critical analysis and think creatively  
✓ Bring the exhibition themes into a current context  
✓ Develop knowledge and practices through contact with works of art  
✓ Illustrate the mutual influence of art, culture and technology, politics, economics, science and worldviews  

Bozar dedicates a major exhibition to one of the most important artist couples: Hans/Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, two central figures of 20th-century abstract art. Throughout their careers, both artists challenged the hierarchies between the applied and fine arts. The diversity of their work – which includes painting, sculpture, textiles, design and literature – keeps them relevant to this day. Not only are their individual artistic creations remarkable, but also the works they realised together, from their first meeting in 1915 until Taeuber-Arp's early death in 1943.  This exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover Sophie Taeuber-Arp's colourful and geometric abstract work alongside Hans/Jean Arp's biomorphic forms, collages and sculptures.
