Turbine Hall
Part of developing an appreciation for art and projects is having a venue where great pieces can be displayed. No knock on the MET or the Louvre but Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern has housed some fascinating exhibits. Often using space and optical illusion to create magnificent works. For example, Doris Salcedo’s exhibit Shibboleth created a crack in the floor of the museum. This is completely counterintuitive to normal viewing at a gallery or museum. Rarely if at all is the work displayed on the floor of the build as it is typically hung on the wall. Also, it is different because a crack would normally be hidden from view not the focal point for guests at the exhibit. Another great piece of work is Test Site. This is giant plastic tube piping system that truly engages its guests as it doubles as a slide. This also provides several prospective of the art, while on the slide, watching someone else go down the slide, looking at the entire structure of the slide. These are just two examples of the tremendous exhibits housed at the Turbine Hall.
