Doing Something! with Artist-in-Residence TetraPAKMAN

Doing Something! with Artist-in-Residence TetraPAKMAN

Bubbler
Friday, Dec 13, 2024, 9:00am to 11:00am

Visitors of all ages are invited to come by the Bubbler Room and work with TetraPAKMAN on engaging, tactile art-making out of recycled materials. Whether we’re building a large-scale, community-generated social sculpture or creating the unthinkable through cardboard construction we need your help!

Some of his ongoing projects include painting bedsheets for a upcoming installation, creating messages out of old keyboard keys or using everyday objects like lids, boxes, and twist-ties to make larger than life sculpture forms.

Many of TetraPAKMAN’s projects scale up or down based on age and timeframe — so come by for 5 minutes, an hour, or more and we will be Doing Something. We’d love your creative additions as he works to transform the Bubbler Room at Central Library!

About the Artist: TetraPAKMAN is a Madison-based artist who has long considered concepts around conservation, and often creates using repurposed/recycled materials. TetraPAKMAN’s practice is focused on community-generated social sculpture projects. His work is about the future, and the challenges we face today as a community. He explores the role of art as a mechanism to generate awareness about the climate crisis.

Stuffie Sleepover and Storytime

Meeting Room 115
Friday, Dec 13, 2024, 6:00pm to 7:00pm

Calling all kiddos! Bring your favorite stuffed animal ("stuffie") and join us for a fun evening of crafts, snacks, and stories. 

In addition to the fun evening of stories, kids will be able to participate in a photo shoot with their stuffie, create a blanket for their stuffie, eat a bedtime snack, and participate in a bedtime storytime. The next morning, kids and their families can pick up their stuffies and see pictures of all of the good fun that they had at the library!

Registration is requested so that we have enough snacks and craft supplies to go around!
