Workshops @ The Bass | Pistoletto’s Mirrors: Reflecting Gaze and Breath with Oscar Rieveling and Alivia Murdoch

Pistoletto’s Mirrors: Reflecting Gaze and Breath offers alternate ways of looking inspired by the work of seminal artist Michelangelo Pistoletto and his use of mirrors. Centered upon the installation Michelangelo Pistoletto: Mirror of Eternity, a guided walkthrough will offer workshop participants with a grounding of the artist’s influence across art historical periods, material innovation, and consider the mirror´s use in contemplative practices more broadly.

Following the tour, participants will take part in two meditative exercises: mirror gazing and breath work. Both practices aim to invoke an inward meditation. Whether it be to access subconscious awareness or simply attaining a greater sense of grounding, these techniques can be readily employed as part of creative and wellness practices.

Following the meditations, participants will be able to exchange their reflections gleaned across the two experiences.

Workshops @ The Bass are created for adults ages 21+ at any skill level. All materials are provided.

The class is $15 for museum members and $20 for nonmembers.
