Mae IRL Event - Portrait Exchange: Model & Draw Workshop

Join us for a unique and interactive portrait drawing event designed to inspire creativity and foster community among artists of all levels! In this intimate gathering of limited participants, everyone will have the chance to both create and be the subject of art. Each participant will take a turn sitting as a model for 5 to 10 minutes while the others capture their likeness in pencil, charcoal, or ink no prior experience required, just a willingness to participate and have fun. As the session progresses, you’ll experience both sides of the creative process: the challenge of sketching a fellow artist under time pressure and the quiet focus of holding a pose while being drawn by others. At the end of the event, we’ll gather to discuss the drawings, sharing insights, techniques, and the stories behind each piece. Each participant will then have the opportunity to select one drawing of themselves to take home: a personal keepsake from a memorable artistic exchange. This event is perfect for anyone interested in portraiture, figure drawing, or simply connecting with others through art. It’s a relaxed, supportive environment where curiosity and collaboration are celebrated. Come ready to draw, to be drawn, and to leave with a new perspective and a portrait you’ll treasure!

Offene Ateliers Brandenburg - Zuhause in Brandenburg

  • Studio Joshua Hoskins (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Since moving to Berlin in 2017, I’ve been fascinated by the homes of the villages that surround it in Brandenburg. They are of a specific shape and style that I was only familiar with but had never seen in person: simple yet elegant, consisting mainly of a rectangular box with a triangular-shaped roof. I have since moved to Brandenburg myself and now live in one of these typical Brandenburg farmhouses.

Though this series is formally an exploration of the shapes of these objects that represent a specific house architecture rooted in the state of Brandenburg, it is also an exploration of the mystery surrounding all homes and what takes place within their walls.

The home is a mysterious Objekt—an object mostly only seen from the outside, whose interior spaces we will never know. These homes forever remain closed to us. To enter an unfamiliar home is to be transported to another world, much like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

This series uses the familiar shape of the home to explore the unknown hidden behind everyday objects. The objects I’ve depicted here are to be looked through rather than looked at. Instead of just peering into the window of an unfamiliar home like a voyeur, these images are meant to be portals where the entire shape of the home transports the viewer to someplace else in time and space.
