Caution: Art Afoot
By Megan • Dec 11th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)“Some might agree with the Tate that the work, Doris Salcedo’s “Shibboleth,” concerns “the divisions between creed, color, class and culture that maintain our social order, precariously balanced as it is on the precipice of a chaotic void of hatred.” Others might feel that, as a visitor named Peter Lord said the other day, “there’s some kind of meaning behind it, although I don’t know what.”
And then there are those who trip on the crack and hurt themselves. The Times of London reported that 15 people suffered minor injuries in the first eight weeks after “Shibboleth” opened in October in the Turbine Hall, Tate Modern’s vast signature space. The newspaper cited museum records it obtained in a search under Britain’s Freedom of Information Act. The work will be on view until April 6.”
