Doing Tate Play: Rasheed Araeen

Come and Play at Tate Modern.

Not to be missed, the immersive and interactive exhibition by Rasheed Araeen, ‘Zero to Infinity’. Part of the innovative Uniqlo Tate Play, ‘Zero to Infinity’ is an endlessly changing sculpture created to spark joy. Araeen invites the public to arrange and rearrange 400 brightly coloured cubes in a group activity staged in Tate’s Turbine Hall. Initially stacked as a grid, more participants equals more possibilities where the creative potential of the public comes to life before your eyes. First devised by Araeen in 1968, it has been displayed across the world, including the 57th Venice Biennale and is now on your doorstep.

For post play refreshments, head to Araeen’s ‘Shamiyaana IV’ (Food for Thought: Thought for Change). exploring the idea of togetherness and the collaborative act of creation. Featuring four colourful gazebos with tables and chairs inside, the installation encourages appreciation of the art of everyday life, such as cooking and eating food, playing, and reading. Gathering around the table to share food, participants are encouraged to exchange stories. As the rain continues, find joy and community through colour on Bankside.
