Re-thinking things with Markus Färber & Max Baitinger
We’re embarking on a journey to Planet Earth, using drawing as a means of exploration to examine the seemingly ordinary. Couldn’t everything be completely different from what we’ve been taught? In this workshop, we’ll rethink the nature of the things around us by giving them a new story. Required Material is black Markers, scissors and glue.
Age: 15+
Time: 120 min
Place: Dílna U Pavouka
Markus Färber aka Holob was born in a small town in the frankonian forest and later on studied illustration and comics in Kassel, Lisbon and Halle. He is part of the „No:Books“-artbook-collective and co-founder of the artist collective „Busy Hands“ which since 2020 organizes the „Busy Hands Fest“—an annual festival for Gig Posters and music-related art. He is now living in Leipzig where he works as a freelancer in illustration and poster design. In 2023 he became the artistic assistant of the illustration department at the art school Burg Giebichenstein in Halle where he is teaching together with prof. Georg Barber (ATAK).
Max Baitinger was born in 1982 in Penzberg, Upper Bavaria. After completing an apprenticeship as a carpenter, he began drawing comics and studied illustration at the Academy of Graphic and Book Arts in Leipzig. His comic “Heimdall” (Rotopolpress) received an honorable mention at the ICOM Awards ceremony during the 2014 International Comic Salon. His follow-up work, “Röhner” (also published by Rotopolpress), was among the finalists for the Leibinger Foundation’s 2016 Comic Book Award while „Sibylla“ was awarded with the main prize in 2020.
