​TATE MODERNEXHIBITIONHYUNDAI COMMISSION: SUPERFLEXONE TWO THREE SWING!UNTIL 2 APRIL 2018

​Playfully subversive artists SUPERFLEXhave filled Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall with swings 
An orange line of swings weaves through the Turbine Hall. It then crosses the gallery and emerges in the landscape to the south of the building. 
Each swing has been designed for three people by Danish artists’ collective SUPERFLEX. Swinging with two other people has greater potential than swinging alone and One Two Three Swing! invites us to realise this potential together. Swinging as three, our collective energy resists gravity and challenges the laws of nature.
Swing into action on the count of three – One Two Three Swing!
Danish artists’ collective SUPERFLEX is best known for its playfully subversive installations and films. Founded in 1993 by Danish artists Bjørnstjerne Christiansen, Jakob Fenger and Rasmus Nielsen, SUPERFLEX has gained international recognition for collaborative projects and solo exhibitions around the world. 
This is the third annual Hyundai Commission, a series of site-specific works created for the Turbine Hall by renowned international artists, as part of the partnership between Tate and Hyundai Motor.

the last couple of weeks we have been bust making frames in junior art club, check out our fabulous creations!

Think you know what fashion photography is about? Look again! The wonderful zany work of 70s French Vogue photographer Guy Bourdin was on show at Somerset House from November 2014 until March 2015, and showcased his extraordinary ability to tell a story. The exhibition was full of Bourdin's work throughout his career, including paintings, photographs, magazine layouts, and some strange films focusing on the way in which models pose. 

A particular favourite was 'Britain by Cadillac', a series of photographs for a Charles Jourdan advertising campaign in 1979. Bourdin dispensed with the use of a model and employed instead a pair of mannequin legs, cut off just below the knee. She is only a hint of a woman, and yet in each situation in which Bourdin placed her she becomes a complete character within a story, told around many iconic British landmarks such as a Brighton seafront, an English rose garden, a taxi rank, and Battersea Power Station.


Please come up to the Art Department to see Miss Eng's Guy Bourdin book if you are interested in learning more about it!
