Slide Art at the Tate

I want to go to London to experience this exhibit

A new sculpture exhibition at London's Tate Modern gallery gives visitors a chance to experience art from the inside out.

German artist Carsten Holler has built a series of long, curving slides inside the gallery's cavernous Turbine Hall -- named for its previous role as a power station.


The slides, whose clear plastic and shiny, burnished metal make them look like an austere, stylish water park, allow gallery-goers to twist and twirl through structures as pieces of art.

So cool!

On day I will get to BOTH Tates.

That's a long way to travel for a slide -- even for a slide enthusiast. Somehow I think you would feel a minor tinge of disappointment when got to the bottom of the slide. But on the other hand, the guy might have some other playground stuff set up by the time you do. I have an artist friend who once set up a swing set in his backyard. The art community shunned him, but the neighborhood children were thrilled, and said as much in a review in NY Arts Magazine.
