Past the Future
Small exhibition at Tate Britain curated by artist John Noble to launch the new gallery dedicated to the archive collection at the Tate which brings together works which symbolise the history of the Millbank area. It has works which reflect its origins as a swampy area such as Robert Morris’s black felt work which looks like running water. It also looks at the idea of the prison which stood on the site in works such as Anthony Caro’s “Witness” a large weeping figure behind bars. To represent the early Tate there was a bust of GF Watts but placed on the floor to make you looks at it differently. I liked the fact this display let you draw your own conclusions.
