Mutate Britain aims to take art out of the gallery and into the city － where it reaches and entertains a much broader swathe of society. Their governing principle began with Joe Rush and the Mutoid Waste Company －mixing art into a bigger event and making sure everyone enjoys it. We took Artist Liaison Officer, Jo Dunne out of her busy schedule to explain to us what makes this event so special and why the general public have nothing but positivity for their project.

Tristan Schoonraad has probably one of the most interesting backstories to an artist that we have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Working in Hollywood in the Special Effects & Make-Up departments from a young age has allowed this man the rare opportunity to work behind the scenes in many incredible movies, such as Rambo, Troy, Harry Potter, Saving Private Ryan & Gladiator. His deep knowledge of casting and moulding near perfect creations of humans, monsters & even aliens gives him the perfect springboard with which to launch his newfound career as a Fine Artist. UKAdapta predict that Schoonraad will be a key player in the artworld in the next decade and remember; you heard it here first.

Fortunately, I had the chance to meet with her in person as she had some work in an incredible group show this past Nov called ‘Shades Of Things To Come'.

We have witnessed the rise of the art gallery as a place of sanctuary for those looking to have some form of experience. As Francesca Gavin of Dazed once said, "The Tate Modern has become like a modern-day cathedral; attracting people from all over the country to meet in its hallowed halls." This vast museum first opened its doors to the general public in 2000 and has been exemplary in showing us that Modern & Contemporary Art is for the masses now and is both more understandable and infinite in its possibilities.
