I've always thought that the most fun with the Turbine Hall installations is to be had watching how others choose to 'interact' with the art.
I've spent countless hours people-watching in there over the years. Some of the art has been good too - this looks intriguing.

Complete the following cliché:
"I don't know much about modern art, but...."
My completion is:
"but I wonder if future generations will look back at it with the same awe-struck reverence as we, today, look back at impressionism".

Sounds like complete and utter crap, put on for pseuds and the gullible by a gallery that, essentially, has no decent modern art to show.

@David - I shared a similar viewpoint until I first visited Tate Modern a few years back. What I found was some art that was utterly meaningless (to me) but also some that was affecting, and thought provoking - and/or simply interesting. Not unlike the variety we find daily on this blog.
I don't regard myself as a pseud and I'm certainly not gullible. I think it's down to having an open mind, and a degree of maturity. Still.. each to their own.

Am I the only one who preferred the Turbine Hall when it still had working turbines in it?

No, you're not.
(My uncle used to work there)
Am I the only one unable to understand the difference between yesterday's post and today's?

My brother was an apprentice engineer there. The turbine hall was hot and noisy. There's real art in a turbine.

Saw it on Friday evening. Boy, was it boring, and the most of the speech was impossible to make out. I wonder if that was deliberate. But it might perhaps explain why about a third of the audience were using their mobile phones, another third were chatting amongst themselves, and several more were lying down ignoring the screen entirely. Didn't notice any helium-filled floating fish, but the on-screen "squid" was a cuttlefish.
"Dull" is too generous.
