This Saturday saw the culmination of the Tate Collective’s hard work over the past few months, in the Young@Tate event at Tate St Ives. The past few weeks had been fairly stressful planning, resourcing materials and ironing out details for risk assessments and other paperwork. In total, we had 4 main activities planned for young visitors to take part in; 1. Make us a story; an activity consisting of images from the exhibition being displayed and inviting visitors to write their own narratives about the work. 2. Surreal tours – taking visitors on a tour of the gallery, but the focus being on questioning the works and the information that the gallery provides. Supplying a number of facts intertwined with a number of fabricated stories about the works in the exhibition. 3. A cyanotypes workshop, run by one of the trained facilitators at the Tate, where domestic everyday objects are placed onto photographic paper and exposed to UV light. 4. An activity inspired by Lygia Clark’s work, a basic 2D net where the participant can fold and secure however they choose, creating an infinite number of 3D possibilities. We wanted the focus of the day to be looking at the surreal works on show in the gallery, and ultimately coming up with your own meanings behind them.
