Everyone is an Artist

by Tattfoo Tan

About the Exhibition

Inspired in part by the credo of artist Joseph Beuys (“every human being is an artist”), Tattfoo Tan‘s aim was to disassemble art’s “precious and high-handed” reputation by making it accessible to regular folk. He reinterpreted ancient techniques so that they could be used with materials found around the house or in the office: coffee filters, filo dough, food coloring. These easily recognizable tools and the clear instructions he gave, encouraged less confident participants to have a go. The adaptability of his work is key; Tan is delighted when artists suggest different materials they could use, such as pastry instead of dough.
