[http://newartnetwork.net/tate-modern/ article continues] - Looking at to Tate Modern's new underground oil tank spaces this summer might mean visiting a performance of minimalist dance, enjoying a debate on which it's being an immigrant or experiencing work by a designer who most recently filmed naked men playing five-a-side football.

[http://newartnetwork.net/tate-modern/ tate modern] - The gallery has revealed specifics of the Tanks, referred to as the earth's first museum space dedicated permanently to reside art, installation and performance. They'll open on 18 July, 10 days ahead of the Olympics, and be filled come july 1st and autumn using a 15-week festival of art.
Tate Modern director, Nicholas Serota, called the Tanks incredible spaces and said the festival was obviously a thrilling moment for Tate. As the gallery had always been a keen collector and exhibitor of installation and live art, the Tanks offered something new, he said. "The public desires to engage these works in a really different way from simply moving in to a gallery and observing the work on the floor or even a wall.
"The Tanks are the initial spaces dedicated permanently to live art, installation and gratifaction in a museum building anywhere in the world."
The new spaces are three 30-metre-wide concrete oil tanks decommissioned greater than 30 years ago. One will be used as back-of-house as the other two will permanently show live art, performance, film and installation as well as hosting symposiums and conferences. The East Tank will probably be bought out come july 1st by way of a single new work by way of a Korean artist, Sung Hwan Kim, that will tell an account using drawing and writing in addition to music, video, sound and sculpture.

Work in the South Tank is going to be "constantly changing, constantly evolving, constantly shifting. When you dropped you may see something totally different from everything you saw the day before, or perhaps the previous week," said the curator of film, Stuart Comer.
The initial project will feature the choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker adapting a minimalist dance work she first performed in 1982 called Fase: Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich, composed of three duets then one solo.

[http://newartnetwork.net/tate-modern/ article continues] - Another artist within the South Tank could be the young Briton Eddie Peake who this coming year showed a show in men playing football naked. Comer said: "He is quite interested in aspects of voyeurism and sexuality, in particular your body. He will be having a new work for this space answering those interests and also to the space itself."
