Pettersen & Hein X Dinesen X Copenhagen Contemporary

Drop-in painting workshop with Fabulari Puzzle

Pettersen & Hein invite you to a small intimate painting workshop on Friday 15 December at 15:00-17:00 in the shop at Copenhagen Contemporary.

In connection with CC x Dinesen’s Christmas Market, Pettersen and Hein have created Fabulari Puzzle.

Fabulari Puzzle is a building set designed for children with a focus on creativity and imagination. This product is crafted from reclaimed 7mm oak wood ‘off cuts’ sourced from Dinesens’ flooring production. Each piece in the Fabulari Puzzle is cut into different organic shapes, allowing children to combine and assemble them in countless ways. This unique building set encourages play, exploration and storytelling, as it has no fixed rules or limitations.

At Copenhagen Contemporary, visitors of all ages can participate in a workshop where there will be the opportunity to paint a piece from the Fabulari Puzzle, using Stockmar watercolours, build and assemble a collaborative sculpture from the painted pieces.

About Pettersen & Hein

Activated through observations of the urban environment and their everyday surroundings, the shared practice of artist Magnus Pettersen and designer Lea Hein aims to twist the perceptions of industrial materials through transformation and interruption. Championing a hands-on approach to form giving, Pettersen & Hein produce each object or surface within their Albertslund workshop. Approaching materiality through the aesthetic and ethical freedom of an art practice, they bypass conventional production methods in order to bring new life to concrete, steel, ceramic and wood. Their work contains an intuitive love for imperfections – turning hard industrial materials into poetic and sensuous functional objects through a combination of colour alterations, surface treatments and experiments in form. Focusing on contrast and friction within their work highlights the inherent relationships between materials, objects and the user, conceptually elevating their practice above conventional notions of form and function.

Fabulari Puzzle is handmade by Pettersen & Hein in their Albertslund workshop.
