HEATHER AND IVAN MORISON
Smile All the While
10 December 2013 - 9 March 2014
What is the relation between making art, learning and play? Where does a story begin and end? Can a character become real? Artists Heather and Ivan Morison (b.1973/1974) fill the galleries with the voices of two characters which take us on a choreographed journey through the space, in a humorous exploration of how fiction and everyday life can be woven together. Inspired by the experience of a year-long residency at Thomas Buxton Primary School (Tower Hamlets), this new work uses improvisation, games and rules to trigger unexpected and playful situations. Through one-off happenings, puppetry, travel, writing, storytelling or large scale sculptural installations, the Morisons consider how places and communities can be transformed through collective action.
