You're The Boss - Chisenhale Gallery Education - London - 2008

You're The Boss was an intensive one week art project commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery for 12-14 year olds. The young people 'hired' the artist they wanted to work with and designed an event and interactive art exhibition open to the general public at the end of the week. They visited the Tate Modern to respond on the exhibition, Duchamp, Manray & Picabia, and they chose the way they wanted to work and with what media they could use. They created artworks as individuals and collaboratively. They had to work with a budget, find ways to market their event that included a walkabout around the local park to hand out invitations and talk to the public.

They created a photo & video booth area, scanning & printing area and a research & experimentation area. They worked with text, exquisite corpses, object installations, still life's, sets and costumes. Discussion was an important aspect of the project and they made their own group name and manifesto.
