17 December 2010 Image: Artist Romuald Hazoumè works with local teenagers on the Children’s Art Centre project (MIB) Made In Brisbane 2010. ‘21st CENTURY KIDS’ PROGAM AT GoMA Twelve interactive activities and artworks from leading international contemporary artists, a summer festival, a regional touring program and the first ever publication for kids are a selection of the Children’s Art Centre offerings at the Gallery of Modern Art this summer. Queensland Art Gallery Director Tony Ellwood said the ‘21st Century Kids’ program for young visitors and families was an integral component of ‘21st Century: Art in the First Decade’, showing at GoMA from December 18, 2010 to April 26, 2011. ‘21st Century Kids’, spans both levels of the Gallery’s dedicated Children’s Art Centre and is integrated throughout the exhibition. ‘It’s a program that encourages children and families to discover the fresh and imaginative ways that leading international artists consider their world in the twenty-first century,’ Mr Ellwood said. ‘21st Century Kids’ sees the introduction of all-new artist activities for the Gallery’s youngest audience, as well as the return of favourites from previous exhibitions and key artworks in the exhibition will be labelled with special didactics for young art lovers. ‘It includes unique activities and artworks developed by artists including Pierre Bismuth (France), Fiona Hall (Australia), Romuald Hazoumé (Benin), Jorge Méndez Blake (Mexico) and Jana Sterbak (Czech Republic/Canada). ‘Appearing for the first time at GoMA is Rivane Neuenschwender’s acclaimed I wish your wish 2003, a vibrant installation of colourful silk ribbons printed with wishes inspired by Brazilian tradition. Visitors are encouraged to tie a ribbon printed with a wish to their wrist. According to tradition, the wish is granted when the ribbon wears away or comes off. ‘Tony Albert’s popular multimedia interactive Alien nation embassy 2008 returns along with other favourites such as Justine Cooper’s The call of the wild 2006 and Olafur Eliasson’s epic interactive Lego project The cubic structural evolution project 2004 installed on a bench 22 metres in length. Mr Ellwood said the ‘21st Century Kids’ was accompanied by a 176-page hardcover full colour publication that included contributions from 16 artists featuring in the ‘21st Century’ exhibition. 1/2
‘21st Century Art for Kids is the Gallery’s first ever Children’s Art Centre publication. Each artist discusses their background, inspiration and work in ways that will engage young readers and their families,’ he said. ‘In addition, we will present an action packed 11-day summer festival from January 13 to 23, with exciting new media performances, artist-run workshops and activities and a specially curated animation program at the Australian Cinémathèque.’ A regional program, the 21st Century Kids Summer Festival on Tour, will take place at 50 regional galleries and other venues throughout Queensland on January 15, 2011.
