Late at TATE: KABOCHA

The Tate collective team have pulled together an amazing mix of creatives to respond to Anthea Hamilton's large scale artwork at Tate Britain called 'The Squash'. The inspiration for the work came from an old photograph that the artist owned but had no information about the source. She was left to imagine it's context just from the image. So she created a whole fictional narrative around the image, creating a character called Squash and transforming the cavernous sculpture hall at Tate Britain into a surreal new home. Part animal, part vegetable, Squash roams around aimlessly all night and day. Inspired by this idea of invented narratives the Tate Collective Team have taken 'storytelling' as the curatorial theme for this evening.
