On wednsday the 29th of october the visual dialogues crew of sheffield embarked on a meaningful adventure to the tate britain/modern galleries. The day began with an early start accompanied by many cups of tea and coffee. We arrived in st pancreas with our group leader, david, at 11 ish, only to realise that there was more travelling to come. This was not taken too lightly. However, we marched to the tube station in high spirits, and eagerness to meet the other visual dialogue crews to battle it out in a duel of knowledge to be the ultimate visual dialogues crew!
Visual Dialogues is a Tate Galleries project which will be run in partnership with Graves Art Gallery and Sheffield Youth Arts Forum, as well as other regional galleries. The purpose of the project is to develop creative interpretations in order to engage audiences with hisorical works in the collection. Graves Art Gallery will host a small selection of contemporary work from the Tate collection to faciltate the creation of the interactives.
The work that has been borrowed from the Tate is Butterfly Catchers by Hannah Starkey, Self-Portrait As A Business Man by Pawel Althamer and Boats by Bethan Huws.
