A night exploring the meaning of time Now and then, sooner or later, we have to talk about time. Running out of it, up against it, just needing a bit more of it, time is one thing in life that makes us all equal. Join us for an neighbourly collaboration between Chelsea College of Arts and Late at Tate Britain. For this Late at Tate Britain, we have invited students from Chelsea College of Arts to explore thoughts and ideas around time. Expect a mix of music, discussion, workshops and performance across both Tate Britain and Chelsea College, including cutting edge art at the latest student degree show. Programme DON'T MISS Don't miss the Chelsea MA Summer Show for some cutting edge art and performance! Just head over the road to the Chelsea Parade Ground via the Manton Foyer and follow the music! Open until 21.00 (last entry 20.45) PERFORMANCE Too Early To Love You, Too Late To Kiss You Room 1840 19.00–20.00 Artist Luca Bosani transforms the floor of Room 1840 into an unconventional clock, where the seconds are marked by flamenco inspired steps and stomps. At the centre of the clock, two performers will interact displaying a fluid interpretation of time, as the result of their inner life, desires and emotions. With Connor Pelé Williams and Jack Wallace. WORKSHOP Object Biographies Clore Studio 18.00–21.00 All objects have stories to tell. How do we unlock these histories and what do they mean? Join curator Jacqueline Winston-Silk for a hands-on, collaborative workshop to explore some of these ideas. In The Moment Manton Studio 18.00–21.00 How do you feel right now? In the present? What have you got to say? Join artist Heather Rees for an experimental collaborative mural workshop to explore your current emotional state. Extended Realities Taylor Digital Studio 18.00–21.00 Artists have imagined realities using various mediums, throughout history. If you could imagine or experience a time in history, when and where would that be? Come and join the Digital Maker Collective and help explore the concept of imagined histories and how we experience time, absence and empathy through immersive art, emergent technologies and virtual reality. DISCUSSION Looking For Langston Clore Auditorium 18.30–19.30 Join us for a discussion between artist Isaac Julien and Director of Tate, Maria Balshaw as they explore themes of time and temporality in relation to his ground-breaking film Looking for Langston which is currently on display at Tate Britain. Isaac Julien is renowned for using moving-image techniques, like montage, to bring the historic past together with more recent events. Chaired by David Dibosa, Reader In Museology at University of the Arts London. *Requires a free ticket, available to collect from the Clore Auditorium on a first-come, first-served basis from 18.00.
