Ultimate Interactive Artwork at Tate Modern
Two pieces struck m as I cruised the Telegraph online today, the first a lovely personal view of the new Carsten Holler artwork at Tate Modern by Richard Dorment, the second a feeble waffle by Tom Horan on the new Carsten Holler artwork at Tate Modern.
Essentially five tubular slides, the artwork is the latest attempt to make meaning of the Tate’s Turbine Hall, the vast space that has previously housed art by, amongst others, Anish Kapoor, Rachael Whiteread, Louise Bourgeois and Olafur Eliasson.
In his inimitable style, Dorment brings a sense of wonderment to this latest project by Holler, with all the detail and opinion required to inform and entertain the reader, his prose is a delight. Unlike Horan whose pretentious little blog entry seems to be more in keeping with an old fashioned society gossip page than artistic comment.
