Frank Bowling is the latest artist to take over Late at Tate Britain with "Passage," an augmented reality exhibition filled with interactive workshops, discussions and performances.
In its after-hours open event, Tate Britain will showcase a variety of works from the Guyana-born British abstract impressionist. Eight of these paintings will be paired with an Instagram AR code in which onlookers are invited to hold their phones up against. When the visitors do, the collection of paintings will become animated — each taking on a unique form of life using a 3D layered effect.
"Passage" celebrates Tate Britain’s ongoing exhibition with Frank Bowling through jazz musical performances, painting and collage workshops, poetry performances and more. This will also sit alongside some of his most famous paintings, such as ten colossal Map Paintings created during his time in New York in the mid-1960s.
Take a look inside Tate’s augmented reality exhibition featuring Frank Bowling works in the gallery above and experience it for yourself on the evening of August 2.
