Tate Exchange: The Artists’ Spectrum

Investigate theories of personality and curate your own study of the artistic temperament as part of a collaboration between Bethlem Museum of the Mind and the Tate Modern. Drop in, browse the Tate’s collection and work with Bethlem artists to think about the seemingly strange production of personality charts, constellations, tests, typological ‘mind maps’, traits and diagnoses. What does it mean to be a creative type?
