Works of art from the MRAG collection which convey the colour and vivacity of everyday life have been hung at child height on the walls, while a brand new permanent light installation, developed by Melissa O’Brien, hangs in the adjacent stairwell space. In the play space, a 10 metre children’s collaborative drawing installation runs the length of the exhibition space, flanked by a children’s kitchen intended to point out the colour and pattern hidden in the everyday, and a relaxing garden where parents and kids can sit down to read one of MRAG’s children’s books on colour, or inspect the details of a digital montage ‘garden’, created out of drawings by students from Term One’s Art Tuesdays class. Curated by Lauren van Katwyk.
