Originally commissioned by Tate Britain for its 2022 Tate Britain Commission, Hew Locke’s The Procession was staged at ICA Boston Watershed, which marked the first time a Tate site commission has toured. Drawing upon a series of motifs and concerns that have occupied the artist over decades, The Procession is a colourful gathering of approximately 140 life-size sculptures of adorned figures of all walks of life. Poetic and powerful, this installation draws on the metaphor of the voyage to, in the artist’s words, “reflect on the cycles of history, and the ebb and flow of cultures, people, finance, and power.”

Tate supported and advised the Museum of Art Pudong’s Learning team on how to structure and deliver the inaugural MAP YOUR ART (MYA) prize for children and young people. The programme aimed to inspire young people’s creativity and raise the value and importance of art education.

The prize received over 3,000 submissions from young artists aged 6 to 15 from all over China; 139 finalists had their work displayed in a special exhibition at MAP and a display at Tate Modern. Winners were selected by a jury that included artists Xu Bing, Ding Yi, and Gayle Chong Kwan.

Tate is currently advising on the second edition of the prize, which has received 30,000 submissions from across China.

Over a period of 2.5 years Tate advised and supported peers in Pudong (Shanghai) as they built and opened a new art museum. Dozens of contributors from across Tate shared their expertise with the growing team at the new Museum of Art Pudong, writing hundreds of documents and taking part in dozens of workshops that covered all aspects of museum management – from visitor experience to curation, conservation to marketing.

The museum opened in 2021 and has established itself as one of China’s most-visited contemporary art spaces. The consultancy laid the foundation for a long-term collaboration which sees the two institutions continue to work together on exhibitions, commissions and audience programmes.
