Event Details
'I Don't Know Much About Art But I Know What I Lick' is a show about fine art for messy people.
The gallery is a space with particular rules of engagement. Young children do not know these rules and embrace art in the way that makes the most sense to them: physically. This new children’s work by Trick of the Light Theatre sets out to make the world of visual arts more inclusive and engaging for young tamariki and their adults.
Guided by attendants, explore a gallery of interactive reworkings of iconic artworks – The Mona Lisa with eyes that follow you, the Birth of Venus in a paddling pool clam shell... Children are invited to connect with art in a whole new way.
Why would you stand back and contemplate the beauty of Monet’s water lilies, when you can step through the frame and go looking for frogs?!
