Back to the Tate

This afternoon, as shown below, we went back to the Tate Modern. We initially visited the Tate with our friends Dave and Lisa while they were here, and then went back with Bob and Kathleen while they were visiting. On that second trip the main turbine hall was closed, so we thought we would go back and see what they had put in there.
First though, before we ever went inside was the art installation of Louise Bourgeois who is now 95 years old. She does the giant spider sculptures amongst other things (she's had a pretty long career). This is one is located right out front of the main entrance to the Tate, and you can see Saint Paul's Cathedral right underneath the body of the spider. Pretty cool.

Inside of the Tate Modern in the main hall is an exhibit called Shibboleth by the artist Doris Salcedo. What that actually looks like is a giant crack running the whole length of the hall. It is really cool. The main floor is concrete (or cement?) and does not have a crack in the general scheme of things. The artist has somehow created this crack in the concrete without the height of the main floor changing. It was cool to see, and a lot of fun to see how people reacted. Got a few couple of pictures below of The Crack from above, up close, and and of the hall as a whole.

Of course, in typical British fashion, there was these warnings signs about falling. I mean, come on, who would trip on that little crack?
