Current Temporary Exhibits
Temporary exhibits are brought to the Tate Modern on a regular basis, changing at varied times. Tate Modern brings in artists all over the world to display their works. Some of the current exhibits are as follows:
Cold Mouth Prayer
This new painting is located in Tate Modern’s Restaurant. It is inspired by nineteenth-century French scenic wallpaper. The piece includes crows exhaling smoke among flowers, with some intriguing dark overtones
London- An Imagery
Swedish artist Martin Karlsson has created this memorial piece as the Tate Modern celebrates its new building. It is located on the outside of the 100-metre barrier around the work being done. The artist updates his portrait of the city.
Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera
This exhibit is an inside look of the UK’s obsession with surveillance. Using photographs from anywhere from the late nineteenth century, to present, the pictures bring out a different perspective on who some of the most iconic subjects of the time.
Upcoming Exhibits
Rosa Barba (15 Sept 2010 – 8 January 2011)
This artist’s off-beat photo and video rendition of the character/narrator relationship is seen in her very carefully placed scenes. By startlingly confusing the viewer through deep social research, she raises questions in the viewer’s mind about culture and social situations.
Gauguin (30 September – 16 January 2011)
The much anticipated Gauguin will be at the Tate Modern! It will be its first exhibition in Britain if over 50 years. With art surrounding the storyteller, some of the paintings reflect both a Christ-like figure and a demon in one. The exhibition brings some of its most iconic paintings from Pont-Aven with it, as
well.
Gabriel Orozco (19 January 2011 – 11 April 2011)
Based on the histories of western and Latin American art, this experimental artist brings together 25 years of work into one exhibition. New pieces will be added to this work at the Tate Modern, as well as a collection of photographs of the artist’s game-based process of creating art.
History of the Building
Tate Modern was built in 2000 as a section of the Tate Collection. It was built to display modern art, or art dated post 1900. The art displayed here was originally displayed alongside the art of post 1500 in Tate Britain. Around 1990, the Tate Collection on Millbank had clearly outgrown its space. Upon the arrival of Tate Modern, London received its first modern art museum, and Millbank could revert to its original state. When deciding where to have this new gallery, talk started of whether to build a brand new building, or revert an old building. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s power station proved to have great location on the Thames. An international competition was held to decide on an acceptable building plan, and Herzog and De Meuron’s plans prevailed. The small Swiss firm kept the essential character of the building in-tact, while converting it to exactly what the gallery needed.
