something we'd like to not have happen...



The Tate Modern has a new installation in their Great
Turbine Hall by Doris Salcedo. The space was memorably
transformed a few years ago for
'Shibboleth'. A hairline crack turns into a chasm about 4
inches apart at it's greatest width and stretches 584 across
the entire length of the hall. A cast from a rock wall in the
artist's native Columbia to gives the floor it's texture.
It is said to symbolize the history of racism and the
inquality amoung countries.
