Too Young For What? is a free day of art and activities - an explosion of creativity across the Barbican Centre - stretching from the lo-fi to the high-tech, inspired by Barbican Art Gallery exhibition Basquiat: Boom For Real (21 Sep 2017 — 28 Jan 2018), the first large-scale exhibition in the UK of the work of American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (19601988).
Visitors can explore different forms of contemporary creation including poetry, zine-making, glitch art, performance and film. The day includes insightful talks and newly commissioned responses to Basquiat’s work by cutting edge artists, art hacks, workshops, debates and installations – all driven by Barbican Guildhall Creative Learning’s work with young artists and collectives from east London.
Polaroid artist and author of Polaroid: The Missing Manual, Rhiannon Adam will create a growing Polaroid installation in the Barbican foyer; capturing the day and deconstructing Polaroid film as material culture
