Live art at the Tate Modern


Live art is under the spotlight at the Tate Modern with Tino Sehgal's work in the Turbine Hall that consists of encounters between around 70 story tellers and visitors to the gallery, and the recent opening of the Tanks, the vast underground oil tanks that have been converted to showcase live art and the moving image. The opening programme for the Tanks addresses ways in which artists have increasingly engaged with areas such as performance and the relationship between artist and audience.
