Interactive creativity...

I visited a friends interactive workshop at the Tate Modern this weekend and thought you might be interested in the below...

The workshop I visited was created by the company 'Stooki', it is a young independant brand that crafts jewellrey related apparell.  They had been chosen by the Tate to be involved with the Louis Vuitton Arts project, as the designers represent a mixture of the Tate's target audience and the next generation of artists they want to work with.

The interactive aspects of the exhibition included you as a visitor turning your hand to the creativities of design, producing a 3D item that could be styled and photographed, I think the concept was very clever as it gave the younger generations an albeit brief, but little insight of how a company works in stages from the garment being designed and physically made to being styled and photographed.  I went along as support to Luke one of the designers and the brand, but found the whole exhibition a breath of fresh air in terms of installing creative ideas within the young that could be relevant across many fields not just fashion, such as jewellrey design, costume design, styling and photography!

The above workshop is linked to the Yayoi Kusama exhibition that is curently on at the Tate until June, see details below...

Kusama's art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation.
See images below of the ever-changing art created by 'us' using relective mirror imagery.
A well worth visit!!
