A sunny morning in London, but unfortunately cold. Not discouraged, we are going to Tate Modern.
What amazes us are hudge banners, big inscriptions and advertisements placed outside the building: If Tate Modern was Musée de la Danse?
We are going inside and admiring not only the gallery, but also what is taking place is in the great hall of the museum. Read about this below.
Tate Modern - a British national museum of international modern art is located on the south bank of the Thames in Southwark, in the immediate vicinity of the Globe Theatre and the Millennium Bridge. Millenium Bridge is exclusively for pedestrians, it hangs over the River Thames linking Bankside district and the district of the City of London.
The present, post-industrial building was once the main hall of the Bankside Power Station. Since its inception in 2000, Tate Modern is considered one of the most interesting museums in the world featuring modern art, next to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
Permanent exhibitions are presented at levels III and IV, V floor score big temporary exhibitions and a smaller exhibition space on the second floor houses the work of contemporary artists. The Turbine Hall (tier I), where were once electricity generators, seven-story building has a height and area of 3400 square meters.
Well, it is here in the Turbine Hall where we saw the implementation of a two-day (only!) project: If the Tate Modern was Musée de la Danse?
"The project proposed to transform the museum of art through the prism of dance. In cooperation with dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz, about 90 dancers and choreographers took over the space of the gallery and the famous Turbine Hall ".
Anyone could take part in a discussion on what could be a museum of dance and join in as a dancer on the dance floor of the Turbine Hall.
Entrance to the museum is free!
The interest in huge!
Could it happen in our country?
