The Workshops
In the dialogic workshop with the artworks, participants will creatively explore the exhibition, Sebastien Aubin: no brighter in the middle, through the dialogic method elaborated by Professor Cornett. In the dialogic workshop with the artist, participants will meet with both Prof. Cornett and Sébastien Aubin, and will use their writings from the initial workshop as a basis to talk to the artist about his creative vision and artistic development.
