You're The Boss - Chisenhale Gallery Education - London - 2008
You're The Boss was an intensive one week art project commissioned
by Chisenhale Gallery for 12-14 year olds. The young people
'hired' the artist they wanted to work with and designed an
event and interactive art exhibition open to the general public
at the end of the week. They visited the Tate Modern to respond
on the exhibition, Duchamp, Manray & Picabia, and they
chose the way they wanted to work and with what media they
could use. They created artworks as individuals and collaboratively.
They had to work with a budget, find ways to market their
event that included a walkabout around the local park to hand
out invitations and talk to the public.
They created a photo & video booth area, scanning & printing area and a research & experimentation area. They worked with text, exquisite corpses, object installations, still life's, sets and costumes. Discussion was an important aspect of the project and they made their own group name and manifesto.
