DIY on the bank holiday weekend is a British as it gets. Whilst the rest of the country sits in hot and bothered queues to pass in and out of B&Q in the next few days, viagra order we will be very much the vultures of culture satisfying our ingrained urge to rebuild and improve down on the South Bank at this year’s aptly themed ‘Do It Yourself’ The Long Weekend, viagra hosted by the Tate Modern from 22nd May to 25th. With inventive interaction and active participation galore, there is certainly something for everyone and with all of the events, screenings and galleries free to go along to, we see no excuse to not get down there and be a part of it. Highlights for us include House of Fairytales, films by Jennifer West and the remake of 1971 iconic Robert Morris installation.
House of Fairytales
Taking place by the Riverside just outside the Tate Modern the lovely bunch at House of Fairytales will be laying on a fine spread for one and all. A self described ‘antidote to commercialism’ there won’t be many aspects of the arts not catered for; maypole dancing, making and playing instruments, shadow puppets, drawing, sewing and sculpture all taking place over the weekend.
Only in its second year of operation, this innovative non profit production company brought to life by seminal artists Gavin Turk and Deborah Curtis is a way to pool creativity and ‘equip the next generation with the imagination needed for the future of the planet.’

Jennifer West
Film strips, skateboarding, paint and a video camera. Four fairly unusual ingredients but Jennifer West’s recipes are tried and tested and no doubt this weekend’s live project will live up to our expectations of deliciousness. Staged in the magnificent Turbine Hall, a team of skateboarders will ‘traverse paint and ink-covered film strips, their wheels scraping into the celluloid and marking their movements in complex and psychedelic patterns’.
The footage taken at the live event will become the following evening’s feature film, along side a selection of West’s previous cinematic work. Inspired by urban mythology, folklore and popular culture Los Angeles resident West is renowned for never editing her films, which lend themselves to being mysteriously hypnotic, fast paced and a bit out of this world.

Robert Morris: bodyspacemotionthings
38 years ago last month, the Tate was under the spotlight for a controversial exhibit by installation artist and sculptor Robert Morris. The series of sculptures, made up of tunnels, balls, platforms and slopes, were purposefully designed to be interacted with and posed something of an assault course for those engaging with them. The huge public and media interest mounted when the gallery was forced to close its doors after just 4 days due to injury from the unexpected over-enthusiasm on the part of the general public.
Fast forward to 2009 and a recreation of the exhibit based upon Morris’ original plans but using contemporary materials such as plywood, stone and steel plate arrives this weekend at the Tate and will surely prove to be a focal point of The Long Weekend. New York based Robert Morris is a highly regarded and respected man in his field, and not only famous for his daring interactive exhibitions but choreographs, performs, paints, draws and writes.
