TENT x Tate Collective wrap-up

On Friday 19 Augustus in the afternoon, the finissage of TENT x Tate Collective takes place in TENT. The participants in this project will develop the concept and program of the event during the project week in TENT from 15 to 19 August. During this afternoon, the first ideas for the presentations in Tate Modern will be announced. In TENT x Tate Collective, eight young people from London and Rotterdam will form a collective with the Rotterdam-based artist Charl Landvreugd and fashion designer Marga Weimans, and two London-based artists, Bafic, and Yemi Awosile. Together they will explore new models for exchange in order to reflect on artistic, social and cultural dynamics. The project demonstrates geographic analogies and complexities between the two cities to create a space for joint creative production.

From monday 15 August until Friday 19 August at TENT the artists and youngsters will work on a art work, performance of presentation. The group will develop content and concept in an intensive programme of workshops, talks, and studio visits, such as with the Rotterdam artist Jeanne van Heeswijk. In the autumn, the concept will be developed by the same group and presented at Tate Modern in London.
