Five Things To Know About Rasheed Araeen\u2019s Zero To Infinity At Tate Modern, London<\/h2>\n

1. What Is Zero to Infinity At Tate Modern?<\/h2>\n

Rasheed Araeen\u2019s Zero to Infinity at Tate Modern is an interactive play art exhibition consisting of 400 wooden cubes in four bright colours that you\u2019re able to stack and sort into any (short) shape or structure, with an infinite number of possibilities.<\/p>\n

The cubes were initially stacked as a grid, and by moving and playing with them, everyone is part of a constantly shifting live sculpture<\/p>\n

\n

2. How Much Is Entry To Zero To Infinity?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s free.<\/p>\n

3. Do You Need To Book \/ Will You Need To Queue?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Zero<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s no need to book. <\/p>\n

You might have to queue though depending on time of day. We went during the early afternoon and waited for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

There are also crafting and play activities on the balcony upstairs. From which you also get the best overall view.<\/p>\n

4. How Long Is Zero To Infinity On For?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Turbine<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s on till the 27th August in the back of the Tate\u2019s Turbine Hall.<\/p>\n

Does everyone remember the crack in the floor exhibition? Or the bunk beds? I know everyone remembers the slides.<\/p>\n

5. What Age Is It Most Suitable For?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Tate<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

While Zero To Infinity is open to all ages, it\u2019s definitely one older kids will get a lot out of. <\/p>\n

The actual act of lifting and stacking is obviously a lot more physical than stickering, and there are a couple of \u2018rules\u2019 \u2013 cubes are more on the fragile side and you\u2019re not allowed to climb on them, you can only stack them three high, and so on.<\/p>\n

What Did We Think Of Zero To Infinity?<\/h2>\n

We really enjoyed it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019d read mixed things about it online but our session was calm and relaxed. <\/p>\n

Numbers are limited which helps, and the super-patient staff are clear on what you can \/ can\u2019t do before you go in e.g. no climbing, only stacks of three blocks high. <\/p>\n

We went with friends, which was fun, and they all worked together to make an open-air house that\u2019s probably not the best in this weather, but looked lovely and colourful.<\/p>\n

\n

While they weren\u2019t as engaged for as long as previous exhibitions \u2013 mine still talk about the stickering and the drawing \u2013 it was a fun and engaging thing to do, and as always a good art-related discussion point. <\/p>\n

And let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s probably never going to stop raining so the more fun things you can do this summer the better.<\/p>\n

Let me know what you think if you go!<\/p>\n
