Representing Only The Best
State of the Art?
For Goodness sake! Whatever next? School playgrounds? Alton Towers anyone? This nonsense is funded by taxpayers money.

'... to increase public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of British art from the sixteenth century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art.'

Nearly 40 years on, Robert Morris's Bodyspacemotionthings has lost none of its potential for danger after clocking up a string of casualties during a special reappearance at Tate Modern this summer. The artwork, in which participants are invited to negotiate see-saws, a tightrope and other obstacles, left 23 people needing first aid in just over week.
