I really like this huge steel frame that’s currently holding up the facade of a building along Nassau Street, London. As you can see on the Google Maps image everything behind it has been taken away. It’s a massive building site right in the centre of London, of which there seem to be quite a lot lately.

Secret Tate Tour

Architecture, Diary, Exhibition, Links, Photography, Review / Posted by Rich

Yesterday we went on a little tour of Tate Modern’s old oil tanks. These are the three tanks that were once used to store oil when it was a power station. They are huge. All the metal from the tanks has been removed but the huge concrete structure that housed them remains.

During Tate Modern’s second phase of development (see here) they are going to be turned into exhibition spaces - and very good spaces they are too. There are currently a series of John Baldessari films being shown in them but I wasn’t allowed to photograph them.

Afterwards we went to look at the Miroslaw Balka piece ‘How It Is’ in the turbine hall - It’s huge and monstrous and very good - like walking into the gates of hell, or some kind of inter-dimensional portal.
