Louise Bourgeois’s giant bronze spider is part of a larger installation titled “I do, I undo and redo” to commemorate the opening that has become one of the most visited art galleries in the world. Twenty-five years, though her creator may have gone – the doctoral student died in 2010 –Maman Back to sinister revenge, with Mark Tate Modern's quarter-century birthday.
Maman Other elements of “I, I Undo and I Redo” are set up in the gallery's Turbo Hall, named because the original building was a power station, now Tate Modern's large atrium and entrance hall, once equipped with water-powered turbines. Like London’s fourth dock series, the Turbo Hall’s Continuous Commission Calendar has become a stable fix for the British art calendar. Like the base artwork, the Turbo Hall committee was temporary and stayed for about six months. The main element of the “I do, I undo and redo” installation is actually a set of spiral stairs, but the huge size and weirdness of the bourgeois spider attracts cross-generation visitors. The most effective committees that followed were those that suffered the same heavy blow.
Take the 2003 Turbo Hall Committee of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, Weather Projects. The Eliasson installation kit is simple: a bunch of mirrors, a rather large semicircular screen, some lights and one of the machines that spray artificial fog. The lights against the screen bounced off the mirror, creating a strong orange sunshine. The fog adds a steaming tropical atmosphere, where visitors take themselves to the intense light that simulates the sun. More than 2 million people have seen the piece, one of the highlights was provided by a group of activists who lay on the floor and arranged the body in letters to spell out the term “Bush Go Home” in protest of George W.'s 2003 visit to the British state in 2003.

The following year, Colombian artist Doris Salcedo shibboleth Introducing a disturbing feeling. Visitors entering the turbine hall found cracks in the hairline on the concrete floor of the space. The further the crack enters the hall, the longer it is, wider and deeper, until it reveals the entire 167m long length and is large enough to swallow anyone who doesn't see what they are doing.
AI Weewei's 2010 Committee, Sunflower seedsS, Proves his ability to use art to convey ideas in accessible ways. The 100 million-way sunflower seeds covering the floor of the turbine hall are made in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen and encourage visitors to cross the ever-changing carpets produced by the seeds. Unfortunately (and by chance) the seeds were covered in dust and the gallery decided to block the device to prevent visitors from sucking in the porcelain.

The original Tate Gallery was donated by Henry Tate, half of the 19th-century sugar shop, candy maker Tate and Lyle. In 2018, some British institutions were under scrutiny for their potential participation in the slave trade, and the Tate was placed under a microscope. Research led to pardons – a statement noted that Henry Tate and Abram Lyle were twelve and fourteen, respectively, when slavery was abolished in 1833.

When Cuban artist Tania Bruguera was invited to form a Turbo Hall Committee in 2018, she also took advantage of the opportunity to face the attitude of immigrants. Bruguera placed a thermal layer on the floor of the hall. The longer the person lying on it, the explosive portrait of a young Syrian refugee named Yusef began to appear under them. Yousef fled Syria to London, and the tangible warm presence reveals the potential organic sympathy of human kindness, a lesson about how to make a real-life horror companion see. Anyone who is not left behind by this piece can visit a crying room where harmless steam is pumped into a space next to the floor, forcing visitors to tears like they peel onions. Bruguera Committee titles –10 148 451– The number of people migrated from their country in 2017 increased the number of immigrant deaths when the project was installed in 2018. This number has been increasing since then.
American artist Kara Walker's 2019 Turbo Hall Committee gracefully tells the horrors of the British Empire. Title Fons Americanus, The main focus of the installation is based on a 13-meter-high fountain stationed in front of Buckingham Palace. British colonialism was accelerated under Queen Victoria, and the original memorial was a fluffy, exaggerated statue designed to commemorate the period. For Walker's mix, the memorial turned into a fountain, with water pouring out from the top (and various other around the sides), mentioning the ocean traveled by the nineteenth-century British slave traders as they dragged human cargo into the hell of the new world. Details carved into the fountain structure include noose hanging from branches, while the commander represents the brave black individuals fighting the slave trade.
Last year's committee, El Anatsui After the red moonalso revolves around the interrogation of slavery. The Ghana-born Nigerian artist and his team connected the old bottle tops and discarded the Ephemera as a giant slap banner and mesh. By using vegetation that travels back and forth along the coastline along the global coastline, El Anatsui also highlights how our oceans transport and abandon trafficked humans.
