Title:: Miroslaw Balka's 'How It Is'
When:: 01.11.2009 - 05.04.2010
Where:: Tate Modern - Southwark
Category:: Galleries/Art Exhibitions

Description

The month ahead is full of new experiences at Tate. Take Miroslaw Balka's 'How It Is', described by The Times as the "Turbine Hall's most successful commission to date."

You turn a corner and creep up the ramp and into the darkness. You're surrounded by absolute pitch black, unable to see how far you've come, or how far you're able to go. You turn around and, as your eyes adjust to the dark, you see the ghostly shapes of others, following behind you, groping their own way into the blackness. You come to the border of whether you want to go further or not.
