Recruiting Participants for an Upcycle Art Workshop by Yan Tu, Experiencing the DIY Spirit of 90s British Art with Parents and Children
A parent-child upcycle art workshop led by artist Yan Tu, linked to the Tate exhibition, is recruiting participants.Summary
In conjunction with the exhibition "Tate: YBA & Beyond – 90s British Art That Changed the World" at The National Art Center, Tokyo Art Beat is coordinating a parent-child workshop titled "Upcycle Art Created by Parents and Children" on March 15th. The workshop aims to let participants experience the DIY spirit characteristic of 90s British art, specifically the Young British Artists (YBA) movement, using familiar household materials. Participants will create canvas works using old clothes and waste materials from the exhibition. The instructor is the artist Yan Tu, known for installations that question the systems of art by replacing human actions with machines, and for works focusing on the politics and violence hidden behind technological convenience. The program emphasizes the process of deciding how to interpret and combine everyday objects. The workshop lasts 90 minutes, and completed works can be taken home. It will be held at Isetan Shinjuku Store, and applications are open until March 11th.
