A.S.S.E.M.B.L.Y at Tate Modern
Emma McGarry has been working as Lead Artist for the Special Schools Preview of the New Tate Modern which took place on June 16th 2016.
As part of the programme she invited Kate Elliott, as one of eight artists, to collaborate on an exchange, the outcome being a series of new learning resources, for use on the day and from now onwards.
For their Tate exchange Kate Eliott and Emma McGarry (KEEM) compiled a list of words that connect their two practices. They then individually compiled a 'mix-tape', with each song relating to one of the words, before sharing them with one another. From this exchange, the following resource was created: Y IS FOR YOU (AND ME) CAN HAVE IT ALL.
Devised by Emma, the Special Schools Preview
- known as A.S.S.E.M.B.L.Y - included a manifesto proposing YOU CAN HAVE
IT ALL. On the morning of June 16th 2016 the doors to the new Tate
Modern were thrown open to 3000 school students from across the
UK as its first public visitors.
On arrival at Tate, groups of school students were given one of the eight artist learning resources, each of which relates to a specific collection of works within the building. KEEM's resource - Y IS FOR YOU (AND ME) CAN HAVE IT ALL - connects to the Louise Bourgeois Artist Room in the new Switch House extension of the Tate Modern, where groups of students created their own 'mix-tapes', in response to chosen Louise Bourgeois artworks.
Alongside the resources, special events and activities ran throughout the day, and the soundtrack of KEEM's above exchange was shared through a silent disco.

The Swap
Curator Stuart Pilkington recently approached us to ask if we would take part in his latest photography project The Swap. Here are our portraits.
The Swap is a very simple concept. On two separate days two photographers photograph each other and create two portraits. On day one, person one is the photographer and the other is the subject and on day two they swap roles so that the photographer becomes the subject and visa versa.
The idea of being in front of the camera is abhorent to a lot of photographers but for those who are willing to take part it is an opportunity to create something collaboratively with another photographer.
