Tate Modern is promoting ‘UNIQLO Tate Play: Serendipity Island’, an interactive installation by artist Lina Lapelytė that invites visitors to move through a giant maze and enter a world shaped by play and music. The project is presented in partnership with UNIQLO.
The installation appears in Tate’s summer programming for Tate Modern, the London museum’s Bankside venue. It is featured in a visitor newsletter issued on 15 August 2026 under the heading ‘Bring the Whole Family’, alongside the museum’s exhibitions, free displays, food and drink facilities, and other visitor information.
According to the announcement, ‘Serendipity Island’ is designed around participation and movement rather than solely looking at displayed objects. Tate describes the experience as a chance to “wander through a giant maze” and “take a leap” into Lapelytė’s world of play and music. The supplied material does not provide further details about the installation’s construction, its musical elements, or the artist’s specific methods for involving visitors.
Lapelytė is identified by Tate as the artist behind the work, but the announcement gives no biographical information or additional context about her wider practice. It also does not include a statement from Lapelytė, Tate or UNIQLO explaining the project’s concept or partnership.
The installation is promoted within a broader Tate Modern summer offer that includes ‘Frida: The Making of an Icon’, organised by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in collaboration with Tate Modern; ‘Tracey Emin: A Second Life’; ‘Julio Le Parc: Light. Colour. Action.’; and ‘Ana Mendieta’. Those exhibitions are separate from ‘Serendipity Island’ and are not presented as part of Lapelytė’s project.
Tate’s announcement does not specify opening or closing dates, daily hours, ticketing arrangements, age guidance, or the precise gallery or space in which ‘Serendipity Island’ is installed. It identifies the project as part of the Tate Modern visitor programme and confirms its partnership with UNIQLO.
