I was there on Friday afternoon killing some time before heading home.

It wasn't finished but the pipes, pendulum and some swings (maybe one of the collective has been to the Kings Cross Bridcage...) were in place and I watched the installers finish laying the very pretty carpet, and that's probably a nice place to site while it's still prisine.

As an installation I felt it was pretty weak sauce. DG's write-up has the experience covered, there's no particular ambience, mood or visual effect that you have to be there to experience first-hand (unlike the aforementioned Weather Project - 2003? where did all the time go!) and the scale of the turbine hall is I feel entirely ignored, the installation may as well be outside in front of the river.

A 3.5/10 'meh' from this amateur critic.

That’s a work of art is it ???

Art is whatever an artist says is art. And an artist is someone who produces art. I'm rather fond of impressionist paintings myself, beyond that I start to get baffled.

But enormous amounts of modern stuff seem to be quite well liked, by people who like that sort of thing. So be it!

Called in to the Tate with a friend for a pot of tea ... watched the swings for a while and saw a couple of people fall off. All good fun.

It looks a bit like the London Overground carriage strip map in 3D
