Celeste to takeover Tate Modern’s Late in exclusive performance

Known for her poise and wistful voice, Celeste is set to take over Tate Modern’s Late for an exclusive performance at the end of this month.

On June 28, the award winning musician will take to the Bankside venue for a special evening exploring light and film, in celebration of the US-based artist Anthony McCall.

The unique set, which will be performed in the Tate Modern’s South Tank, will run alongside Mr McCall’s dramatic light installations.

Celeste said: “It is an honour to collaborate with Anthony McCall.

“Being able to perform my songs in an unconventional way and in such an immersive space, affords me the freedom and fortune of articulating my creative ambitions directly to audiences.

“Translating raw and human expressions are most impactful up close and in person, which Anthony’s work very much reflects.

“Both music and art offer personal and sensorly experiences, allowing us to walk away with profound realisations of our own realisities and shared existences.”

Every month, Tate Modern Lates offer visitors a free evening of art, music and film, where like-minded creatives can come together in the heart of London.

The programme for June’s event will celebrate Mr McCall’s sculptures of light.

Throughout the month visitors will be able to watch the artists animated lines come to life in the film, Five Minute Drawing, and hear from a host of voices who have drawn inspiration from his work.

Those looking to get hands on can join an interactive workshop led by Originary Arts, inviting visitors to create collage from film strips, while DJ sets programmed by Global Roots will take over the gallery’s Turbine Hall.
