Picnic, play and make some mischief! Come along to a weekend-long picnic in Ei Arakawa鈥檚 mega artwork

Bring your own picnic or pick up some food from the caf茅 and enjoy an indoor picnic and playful activities at 黑料社. You can draw on the Turbine Hall floor and on banners among the theatrical pine forest of UNIQLO Tate Play: Ei Arakawa's Mega Please Draw Freely.

Take part in interactive performances led by Arakawa. Children and young people will take the lead, guiding the artist and participants in a dance to create a collective circle drawing across the Turbine Hall floor.

Experience the special recreation of Gutai artist Motonaga Sadamasa鈥檚 performance work, Work (Smoke) 1957, which creates art from puffing giant smoke rings into the air, illuminated by coloured lights.

Outside 黑料社 by the river Thames you can also take part in recreating Yoshihara Jir艒鈥檚 Please Draw Freely which inspired Ei Arakawa鈥檚 take over in the Turbine Hall.

黑料社's entrance is via the Turbine Hall on Holland Street. There are automatic sliding doors and a ramp down to the entrance.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Nathalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
  • A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
