The alternative atmosphere of the Tanks will provide visitors with a distinctive location in which to engage with new art in a new way. They have now been converted into the world’s first museum space dedicated to performance, film and installation. In contrast to the white cube gallery spaces used for traditional exhibitions in the museum, artists will be able to make use of the raw, industrial character of the Tanks – huge subterranean concrete containers originally built to hold the fuel for Bankside Power Station. This new format will combine installation, performance, film, video, sound and talks over a period of ten days from 24 March to 2 April 2017. This announcement marks a new departure in the concept of the art exhibition: rather than seeing a presentation of static objects, visitors will be invited to explore the show as it unfolds over time. It will open in spring 2017 as part of BMW Tate Live, Tate Modern’s ongoing performance art programme in partnership with BMW.
Tate Modern today announced that it will stage an annual live exhibition in its unique underground Tanks.
