Tate Modern

The Millenium Bridge permet depuis 2000 de traverser la Tamise pour rejoindre la cathédrale St Paul (du côté de la City) et le "Beaubourg Londonien", offrant une perspective assez remarquable. L'architecture de brique du musée Tate Modern pointe vers le ciel côté Bankside avec Tower Bridge sur la gauche. Une fois l'immensité du hall traversé, Monet (Water Lillies), Dubuffet, Hillier (Variations on the Form of an Anchor "one of the several mysterious beach scenes with abandoned elements made in the 30's"), Giacometti, Picasso (Goat's Skull "concerned with the atrocities of the Korean War"), Miro (Message from a Friend : "both a cloud and a whale"), Matisse (The Snail), Magritte (The Reckless Dancer), Dali (Mountain Lake "the disconnected telephone means the negociations between Hitler and Chamberlain about the Sudeten") vous attendent ainsi que Warhol à qui est consacré une des nombreuses Artist Rooms (Marilyn Diptych). On y retrouve Table and Four Chairs de Therrien ("we reflect back on over physical place in the world"). Pas loin de la Jacob's Gallery, un van Volkswagen est garé avec du matériel de survie (Dharma ?? Non, Joseph Beuys) : The Pack ("after his crash in Crimea ... when he later claimed he was rescued by a band of nomadic Tartars who saved his life"). "Ideas of death, rebirth and belief" für Anselm Kiefer et son Palm Sunday. Plus loin, Keith Arnatt nous propose Self Burial ("broadcast on German TV each day two seconds interrupting whatever program was being shown at peak viewing time ... Neither announced nor explained").
