The Turbine Hall generally has something interesting in it. This time a huge series of chrome tube slides were installed nearly the whole height of the space. A few years ago, there was an exhibit at Boston's former ICA on Boylston Street by the Belgium-born, Swedish artist Carsten Holler of slides. This piece at the Tate Modern is an extension of the earlier, more modest ICA vision. This like some of his other installations is about human behavior, perception, logic and self-exploration. Apparently, the artist is intrigued by the visual spectacle of watching people sliding and the inner spectacle experienced by the sliders themselves incorporating simultaneous anxiety and delight.
And he's 'ittle piggies
