Art can be dangerous - Floor Crack at Tate (NY Times)
Dear Art Conversation Visitors,
“Shibboleth” by Doris Salcedo, at the Tate Modern in London, consists of a possibly treacherous crack in the gallery floor. "As contemporary art often does, the giant crack in the floor at the Tate Modern here inspires different responses from different people." Caution: Art Afoot by Sarah Lyall http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/11/ar...tml?ref=design "'Shibboleth' takes its title from the Old Testament story in which the ability to pronounce the word was used by the victorious Gileadites as a test to identify members of the tribe of Ephraim who were trying to sneak back into their home territory. Those who couldn’t say it correctly were revealed as Ephraimites and killed." More Art News: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/design/index.html Another good example that pushes the boundary of "What is Art?" More from Tate Modern: http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/ Judy |
