Research: It's Nice That


Nintendo Lab Kit
  • Nintendo has designed a 'Labo Kit' which allows users to use and build objects which go around the console.
  • The different cardboard options available are a car, a motorbike, a doll's house or a piano.
  • They transform the cardboard pieces into playable, real life pieces
  • Nintendo are hoping that the Labo kit will increase interest in the Switch console and broaden its audience, appealing to children and adults alike. 
  • Can (the Toy-Cons) be incorporated into other forms of gameplay? 
  • enable players to maker their creations, personalise them, and enjoy the (inherent) gameplay experiences.









School Prints

  • The Hepworth Wakefield is reviving a 1940s project to bring contemporary art to children in schools, aiming to address the devaluing of creativity in education. 
  • School Prints originally saw some of the most important British and European artists of the post-war era, including L.S. Lowry, Henri Matisse, Henry Moore and Pablo Picasso, commissioned to create lithographs to be displayed in schools.
  • The Hepworth has commissioned Martin Creed, Jeremy Deller, Anthea Hamilton, Helen Marten, Haroon Mirza and Rose Wylie to do the same. Each has created an artwork to be lithograph printed in limited edition and given to six Wakefield schools, which will also be offered as low-cost posters with teaching resources to schools nationally.
  • We only ask you if you would be good enough to do something suitable for children and not to use more than six colours. The auto-lithographs will be used in schools as a means of giving school children an understanding of contemporary art.”
  • An exhibition of the 2018 School Prints and a selection of the 1940s prints will be on display at The Hepworth Wakefield until 3 June 2018. Another show of just the contemporary works will also be open at Phillips, Berkeley Square until 25 January.
