Tate Modern

 Today I visited the Tate Modern art gallery. The building is huge as it used to be a power station. I went to see the Tracey Emin exhibition to hopefully see something I liked but there was nothing that was to my taste.

However in the large turbine hall there was work from an artist I had never heard of who was highlighting the plight of the reindeer, which was much more interesting.

The installation is in the shape of a reindeer's nose.

I went down and walked around the maze and into one of the seating areas.

The seating is covered in reindeer hides which were so warm. I was surprised by the depth of their fur probably because I had never given it a thought before. There were headphones on the benches so you could listen to the sounds of the reindeer herds.

 

On the other side of the turbine hall was the second part of the art installation.
