Art Base Tate St Ives 21st Birthday Celebration

Commissioned as an Associate as part of the Artists Programme, for the Tate St Ives’ 21st birthday weekend in June 2014, Lees produced a specially themed edition of Art Base for the Courtyard. His room-sized installation transformed the space into an interactive diagram, tracing a playful map of both international modernism and Tate St Ives itself. Visitors of all ages were able to add their own memories and inspirations by drawing directly on the structure that Lees conceived. The installation changed shape over the birthday weekend. Lees himself was on hand for some of the time, making cone-shaped party hats for Art Base visitors.
