The initiative, titled ‘Teletubbies in Art’, is a collaboration between WildBrain and the Tate Modern, London’s most visited modern art gallery. The project aims to bring the beloved characters to life through a series of interactive art installations, workshops, and exhibitions.
The exhibition, titled ‘The Art of the Obvious’, is a celebration of the often overlooked beauty in everyday objects and scenes. It showcases the work of artists who have a unique ability to find and highlight the extraordinary in the ordinary. The exhibition is divided into three sections: ‘The Ordinary’, ‘The Obvious’, and ‘The Beautiful’. Each section explores different aspects of the theme, with ‘The Ordinary’ focusing on common, everyday items, ‘The Obvious’ on things that are immediately recognizable, and ‘The Beautiful’ on the aesthetic appeal of these ordinary elements. The artists’ works are a testament to their ability to see beyond the surface, revealing the hidden beauty in the mundane.
The gallery’s mission is to inspire creativity and foster a love for art among children. The gallery’s hands-on workshops are designed to engage children in the creative process. These workshops allow kids to explore different art mediums, such as painting, sculpting, and collage-making. For example, in the painting workshop, children can experiment with various colors and techniques, creating their own unique masterpieces.
The Teletubbies, a popular children’s television show, will be the stars of an art exhibit in London. The event, which is the first stop of a tour across the UK, aims to bring the show’s whimsical and imaginative world to life.
In this unique gathering, we invite those who have pondered the possibility of turning their early dreams and aspirations into something of tangible, high-quality artistic value. This event is a celebration of the pure, unadulterated joy and wonder that we all experienced when we first encountered these four whimsical characters on the screen.
