Not only did I luck out at being in London for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child previews, but I also got to check out the New Tate Modern during its opening weekend.
Full disclosure: on the whole, I’m not a huge modern art fan but that being said, I’ll always keep an open mind when checking new exhibitions. Because they can’t always be big time suckage. And there was the new 10 story Switch House to explore and all events were free throughout the opening weekend.
Here’s some modern art that I quite enjoyed: (more art on my other posts here)
Cristina Iglesias – Pavilion Suspended In a Room
i-DAT at Plymouth Iniversity & The Tate Collective – This is Where We Are
Guerilla Girls – The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist, 1988
Guerilla Girls – What Do These Artists Have in Common?, 1985
Andy Warhol – Marilyn Diptych, 1962
Marcel Duchamp – Fountain, 1917
Marvin Gaye Chetwynd – Hermitos Children, The Pilot Episode, 2008
Not too shabby, Tate Modern. I can dig your art.
