Saturday 12 December 2009, 11.00–22.00

A festive reprise of Rob Pruitt's Christmas and Kwanzaa (an African-American festival) version of the 'Flea Market' event, programmed to coincide with the exhibition Pop Life: Art in a Material World, in which Pruitt also appears. 

Originally held at Gavin Brown's Passerby gallery in New York in the late 1990s, then featuring artist peers including Elizabeth Peyton, Piotr Uklanski and Rikrit Tiravanija, Pruitt's Flea Market is a playful take on a curated group exhibition cum entrepreneurial initiative.

For Tate Modern, Pruitt has worked with a new selection of London-based artists, plus some of the original participants, to set up market stalls selling everything from artists editions to old 12"s, with a seasonal flavour.
