LONDON.- Tate Modern today announced two major new projects for UNIQLO Tate Play, the gallery’s free programme of commissions and playful art-inspired activities for all ages. Over the Easter school holidays, visitors can join in with Bruce Asbestos’s participatory artwork inspired by Henri Matisse’s The Snail. This will be followed in the summer with a new work by Monster Chetwynd, who will transform the Turbine Hall with a large-scale installation.

From 19 July to 25 August 2025, Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall will stage a theatrical installation by Monster Chetwynd. Inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s 1975 film adaptation of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, the project will invite visitors to explore Chetwynd’s enchanted world and take part in re-imagining scenes from this comic opera. The work will feature fantastical sets and creatures, offering visitors the opportunity to play a role through story-telling and performative actions.

Chetwynd’s practice spans interactive performances, film, collage and painting. Known for handmade costumes, props and sets, the artist often re-uses materials that are readily available to create the ‘mise en scène’. Chetwynd creates joyful and chaotic performances, which prompt collaboration, spontaneity and humour.

A Tax Haven Run By Women, an installation of sculptures and costumes by Chetwynd, is currently on display as part of Tate Modern’s free collection displays.

Open today until 21 April 2025, Tate Modern invites all visitors to take part in a new project by Bruce Asbestos, whose work blends everyday objects with high art, fashion, and global pop culture. Asbestos has created a giant and colourful snail sculpture inspired by Henri Matisse’s iconic cut-out collage The Snail, which is on free display at Tate Modern. Titled Dash, the sculpture will greet visitors to Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall this Easter as part of a giant snail-themed catwalk. Children and grown-ups can participate in a fashion parade, making their very own outfits using paper, paint and card, then show off their wearable designs on the runway.

Mark Miller, Director of Learning at Tate said: “We are incredibly proud to present another year of UNIQLO Tate Play, one which demonstrates the programme’s unique role in commissioning large-scale participatory projects from world renowned artists. Free activities and events put play at the heart of the gallery, opening art to new intergenerational audiences.”

All year round, UNIQLO Tate Play offers free activities to families visiting Tate Modern and encourages people of all ages to play together and get creative. The programme is always made available to all, inspired by the belief that art and play are for everyone. Since it launched in 2021, it has commissioned large-scale projects by renowned artists including Rasheed Araeen, Yayoi Kusama and Oscar Murillo, and it has seen over 585,000 people take part in the gallery alone. Building on this incredible success, last year UNIQLO extended their support of the programme until 2029.
