#Tate Modern

I saw this at Tate Modern, and it wasn't just a silent installation art – all the radios were turned on and you could hear this surreal jam made of various sounds from different channels, like a mixtape.

Stanley Spencer (British/English, 1891-1959) • Self-portrait • 1914 • Tate Modern

Tate Gallery Card:

This is Spencer’s first self-portrait in oil paint, made when he was around 23 years old. He painted it over the course of nearly a year in the front bedroom of his family home in Cookham. Its dark, rich colours and strong sense of three dimensionality reflect his interest in 16th-century European painting. Spencer recalled that he was inspired to paint it in this way after seeing a reproduction of a head of Christ by Italian Renaissance artist Bernardino Luini (c.1480/82–1532).

It's a RADIO TOWER!

Thanks @to-the-fishies for doing an ID and naming the artist, I was so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a picture of the placard.

[ID: a sculpture by Cildo Meireles consisting of a tall, thick tower, roughly twenty feet high, made completely of radios and boom boxes from a number of eras in the 20th and 21st centuries. There's one in there that's the same model as the one I owned in high school.]

Open Wound

Mire Lee

Hyundai Commission

From The Press Release: Drawing inspiration from Tate Modern's history as a power station, Mire Lee transforms the Turbine Hall with fabric hanging sculptures and epic mechanical installations, reimagining the space as a living factory. A mix of materials such as silicone and chains bring her creations to life and challenge our ideas of what is beautiful, perverse, provocative and desirable. 

Open Wound invites us to revel in contradictory emotions: from awe and disgust to compassion, fear and love.

Did my duty at Tate Draw at Tate Modern today. In the photo I took of the screen, the light reflects in a way that hints at Orbwin.

A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai)

A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai) is a color photograph made by Jeff Wall in 1993. The large photograph is a rework version of the woodcut Yejiri Station, Province of Suruga (c. 1832) by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (the great wave of kanagawa). The picture is displayed in a light box and it has the dimensions of 250 by 397 cm. It belongs to the collection of the Tate Modern, in London.

Wall worked on this photograph for five months. It involved four actors and it was shot in a landscape near Vancouver, British Columbia, when the appropriate weather conditions where in effect. He modified and collaged elements of the picture digitally for the final result
