At the Tate Modern

Where the Tate Modern is concerned, this is something of a holding post. Whilst visiting the gallery recently I discovered that much of its permanent collection has been rearranged. This process is due to be completed by May 2006, which will probably be the time I'll go back and see what the finished article looks like. I'll write more about the new arrangements then and will, I hope, have had chance to visit the planned Martin Kippenberger exhibition ("[h]is work draws on popular culture, art, architecture, music, politics, history and his own life").

What will hopefully have changed as well by that point is the current exhibit in the Unilever series: Rachel Whiteread's Embankment in the Turbine Gallery. Actually walking amongst the plastic boxes is something of a disappointment compared to either seeing photographs of the exhibit or viewing it from the balcony halfway down the Turbine Hall. For me, it's not a patch on Anish Kapoor's Marsyas.
