GARDEN ART

If you’re visiting Tate Britain this summer you may notice something a little different about the gallery’s front lawn. The design collective Something & Son has transformed the space into a working garden, complete with a greenhouse and raised beds. The project called, Common Ground, hopes to address the problem of loneliness by encouraging social activity between visitors. Architectural elements, such as climbing plants, arch over pathways to draw people closer together and sculptures, with built in voice-recognition software, will flow with water when triggered by conversations nearby. Look out for the programme of events taking place in the garden over the summer, including a lunch on 8 September, prepared by Michelin-starred chef Skye Gyngell of Spring Restaurant in Somerset House, that will use ingredients grown in local allotments. Until 28 October, 10am-6pm. tate.org.uk
