Ayo & Oni & Olga

2009–10

In association with Chisenhale Gallery

We were invited by Chisenhale Gallery to take part in a Live Art Residency at Olga Primary School. Over the course of our week at the school we did a version of Hider in the House, in which we hide behind a door and invite people to communicate with us by sliding notes under the doorWe encouraged the pupils to think differently about their environment by drawing a map of the school. We then asked them to pinpoint on the map where would be best to hide, to scare somebody, to have a quiet moment.  Combining text and drawings made by the pupils, we produced a book ‘Ayo & Oni & Olga’ that is now housed in the school library. We organized a book launch for the pupils in their school library. You can find the book in the reference section if you look!
