Ghetto Superstar?
25 - 30 October 2004
Ghetto Superstar? The case continues…This course questioned why some artists are seen as 'ethnic' or 'authentic' or 'urban', while other artists are just artists. Over the course of "Ghetto Superstar?" you'd be exploring, thinking, analysing and questioning these things and working towards curating your own virtual exhibition.

Olafur Eliason
17 - 18 January 2004
It's big! It's orange! It's smokin'!!!! Olafur Eliasson has been twisting your perspective and probably your neck too... The outdoors came indoors and weird weather tooks over the Turbine Hall. You were able to reflect and subvert your own surroundings in a 2 day filmmaking course, experiment using professional video cameras, lighting and editing equipment to create your own eerie atmospheres, and make your own short film inspired by this amazing change of scene.

Have you ever wished there was an interactive way of getting to grips with some of the major Big Ideas of our times?

• What does the terminology used to talk about art actually mean?
• Why have certain works been put into schools, categories or movements?

• Why doesn't Tate Modern organise the collection by movement or chronology?
• How would you group a collection of artworks?
