More information from organisers:

The flooded garden is inspired by Claude Monet’s paintings of his flower garden in Giverny, France, and builds upon Oscar’s own series of Surge works. For inspiration, works from this series will be on display in the South Tank, featuring expressive oil paint flowing across their surfaces, like water. Like the artist, we’ll be using deep hues of blue, bright yellows and pinks to create this collaborative piece of art.

Oscar often paints over words, etchings, and debris from his studio, covering them with his own marks. We’ll do the same, painting over thousands of drawings, marks and words contributed by people of all ages from around the world and local community groups at Tate Modern.

As part of The flooded garden, performances will flood Tate Modern with music and movement. Every Wednesday at 15.00, the Turbine Hall will be filled with the sounds of Mar, Río y Cordillera, a group from the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia. 

UNIQLO Tate Play is Tate Modern’s free programme of art, activities and play for families of all ages.

Taking inspiration from the art on display at Tate Modern, our free activities and events offer families new ways to get creative and playfully explore art together.
