The Tanks At Tate Modern

The Tanks At Tate Modern

The Tanks at Tate Modern, the world’s first museum galleries dedicated permanently to live art, are now open. The space’s name is derived from its previous function – the chambers that form the exhibition space were oil tanks that have remained unused since the former power station was turned into an art gallery. Highlights include a commission by Korean artist Sung Hwan Kim and the on-site Undercurrent festival for young people, which showcases audio, digital media and performance drawn from local arts movements in London.
