Ever think that spending your evening at an art gallery would be rather boring? Think again, Last Night Tate Liverpool held Late at Tate’s ‘Fools spectrum’ in which audiences where introduced to a wide Variety of exiting visual art performances from some very colourful characters!

The event was to celebrate the recent colour chart exhibition which includes many famous art pieces from artists such as Damian Hirst, Dali, Duchamp and many more. The night was produced by Hope Street Limited in partnership with Tate Liverpool and was directed by Cocoloco a street theatre company. The whole evening was fantastically bizarre and audience members could really get hands on, in a literal sense, a whole wall was dedicated for the public’s handprints, with pots of paint handy the wall soon go filled up and by the end of the evening was an amazing piece of artwork in its own right.

There were many spectacles for attendees to enjoy including ‘puking clowns’ that spat out colourful paints onto canvases to create artworks, there was also a life drawing session in which people were encouraged to draw on a live model. When entering lifts poetry was read to you, you also had the chance to get your fortune read with colour charts by the mysterious fortune teller in the Tate cafe area.

This evening was well more than the usual perusing of art pieces with wine glass in hand, hearing only the occasional cough and mutter of an opinion, the whole gallery was buzzing with an electric atmosphere as everyone became enthralled by the acts on show, overall there were 40 performers each of whom gave 100% making the night absolutely incredible and leaving audiences wowed.

Late at Tate’s are free for all, and you only have to pay a small amount to see the special exhibition on the 4^th floor. The colour chart exhibition is well worth the visit, each floor of the Tate is packed with amazing artworks at the moment and there is even a dance floor that you can pull some moves on if you’re feeling up to it!
