More about the 'World as a Stage' Exhibition and the Barber Competition:
The World as a Stage exhibition brings together a key group of international, contemporary artists whose works investigate ideas of ‘theatre,’ staging and performance.
This is the first exhibition at Tate Modern to bring the realm of performance into dialogue with gallery-based work. The World as a Stage includes numerous large installations, sculptures, performances, participatory works and events and several new pieces made specifically for the exhibition.
In different ways, the works frame the viewer’s presence in the gallery and point to everyday activity in the world as a form of theatre; reconsidering the baroque notion of ‘the world as a stage’ in the twenty-first century.
Following the exhibition, there will be a barber competition performed by barbers from London and abroad, and organized by one of the exhibition's featured artists Mario Ybarra Jr. Ybarra will transfer his Chinatown barbershop to Tate Modern in London. The installation will include Ybarra’s numerous drawings and objects that reflect on the barbershop culture; one with a long lineage of predominantly masculine social and cultural associations but which has in recent years become identified with urban Mexican American and African-American cultures.
Keep a look out for further exhibitions in the coming months!
