This Saturday, 27 January, there's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see painting and installation artist Matt Mullican perform in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall – while in a state of hypnosis! Mullican uses hypnosis to conjure up symbols, motifs and repetitive patterns from his subconscious mind. Mind-blowing stuff, quite literally! 10pm start, £6.
These performances are a crucial aspect of the artist's work and he uses them as a way of developing ideas through the process of taking on the characteristics of other people whilst he is hypnotised.
The artist, whose work also includes painting, drawing and installation, has long been fascinated by the relationship between information and perception as it is filtered through emotive or unconscious associations. The symbols, shapes and repetitive patterns that he paints during the performance make such concerns visibly manifest.
