Tate Modern

An immersive film installation by Cally Spooner. In this work, a musical for six continuously rolling cameras, a black box soundstage and its inhabitants, are recorded in a single take. The mechanics of the shoot (cameras, microphones, mixing boards, chromakey screens and crew) remain as present as the performers they capture. Cast and crew become a constant-motion human backdrop, pragmatically recomposing scene-changes through lighting cues, voice, body movement, or continuous shifts of filmic apparatus and props. The semblance of a post-production edit arrives through the organisation and orchestration of bodies on set. Delivered by a chorus line of women, the film gossips about various celebrities, athletes and politicians who have outsourced their performances to different technologies.

Art is a tool to set up new questions. An interview with Ai Weiwei about the work behind is installation "Sunflower Seeds", on display at Tate Modern from 12 October 2010 to 2 May 2011. Sunflower Seeds is made up of millions of small works, each apparently identical, but acutally unique. However realistic they may seem, the life-sized sunflower seed husks are in fact intricately hand-crafted in porcelain, by the inhabitants of a small village close to Bejing.

Everyone thinks Mildred is the laziest cat in the world – but when the gallery closes for the day, Mildred actually explores the empty galleries and imagines her life as an artist.

Four Corali dancers have chosen artworks from the galleries at Tate Britain and developed individual dance responses to them. Together with Tate, they show what happens when people have the freedom to enjoy the gallery however they want, and how this can open up new ways of responding to art. Dancing to Art showcases the creativity and talent of the dancers, but also invites you to have a go yourself.
