#ICLAPFOR LA / IAN BERRY
Diane Allen Presents is bringing Ian Berry’s #Iclapfor to LA with a first projection.
It began with an idea between father and son - now the aim for “I Clap For” is to create a platform to create a community and message of thanks during the COVID-19 pandemic - and continuing on past this moment in time to remember all of those who risked their lives on the frontlines.
How it Happened?
Ian Berry lives & works from his London studio and was moved by the clapping, at 8pm on Thursdays every week in the UK. His son couldn’t wait for Thursdays to come, often asking ‘is it Thursday yet?’ and preparing for it. He saw how his friends in New York and elsewhere did it everyday, at 7pm.
With trying to get on with work in the studio while home schooling, they came up with the idea to make a clapping piece through the material he is best known for - denim. It was his son Elliott, 6, who took the photo of his hands. Ian sent it on as a simple card to say thank to some of his friends in the health service, many who had been sick.
While watching a film on a projector it was Elliott that said, can we put the clapping on there? Soon they were beaming it off the balcony of his home and an idea was born. . .
#ICLAPFOR Online we ask the question who do you clap for? The answers could end up on a projection - they will end up on the new website! www.iclapfor.com
