Live Weekend 2: Fantasy Atelier: A Site of Production

Work:: Live Weekend 2: Fantasy Atelier: A Site of Production (S0558336958)

Fantasy Atelier will see the ICA's gallery and reading room transformed into an experimental playground for adults and children, a site of novel architectural production where invention and experiment takes inspiration from real and imagined worlds. Participants of all ages will be encouraged to move and manipulate props and materials as a way of shaping and testing ideas for play. Working around the concept of an 'unfinished story', the architecture will provide a physical framework where this story can be 'built on', whilst other new and overlapping stories can be simultaneously imagined and created. An accompanying series of workshops, discussions and other events led by architects, artists and writers will similarly see the gallery space transformed into a fantastical realm for play and interaction as we embark on a speculative and serendipitous occupation of the fertile territory between work and play. A specially designed sleepover for children and their families on the Saturday night will provide a unique opportunity to sleep in their imagined worlds and allow their stories to become the stuff of dreams.
