Frieze Education

In 2009 Frieze Education worked with ReachOutRCA (The Royal College of Art’s Educational Outreach Team) to realize an artist-led programme of events for children and young people.  Sponsored by Deutsche Bank Frieze Education took place in the Deutsche Bank Education Space.

Aiming to establish a strong legacy for the children and young people that take part, ReachOutRCA provided a highly ambitious, imaginative and critical exploration of Frieze Art Fair. The Frieze Education Programme 2009 concentrated on sculpture and Frieze Projects at Frieze Art Fair, exploring them in their different manifestations.

Encompassing workshops for schools, a weekend public programme, a young person’s printed guide to Frieze Art Fair and an online resource, ‘This Is Yours’ provided an exciting scheme that allowed participants to take ownership of their cultural experiences, making learning about art more meaningful and fun.

Two RCA sculpture alumni led schools groups, each using their own approach to their work as a starting point. These artists engaged the young people with the Sculpture Park at Frieze Art Fair and three-dimensional pieces within the fair to contextualize their own work. The works produced in these workshops were on show in the Deutsche Bank Education Space on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 October.

The weekend workshops used animation and sculpture to interpret Frieze Projects. The workshops on Saturday and Sunday worked with five to 12 year olds to make their own films. Using a film of the process, the children were able to see the work to which they have contributed at the end of each session.
