Tate Britain. Space Transformed. 2016-2019

This project continued my journey with space transformation.

In Phone Call for Millais, I open up the gallery directly onto the street. There’s an iconic red phone box, and the sculpture of Millais. The traditionally defined art space is more accessible, but is the art outside the gallery as well?

In other pieces, I position a playground sign in the Tate Britain. People are confronted with the sign and consider why the sign is there. Should the instructions be followed, or is it just an art object? Their perception of the space is changed. They have to decide for themselves. I merge my journeys through Pimlico into the Tate Britain. Am I making the art more accessible? When does my journey end and the art begin?

I hope it allows the viewer to see the Tate Britain in a different light and increase their enjoyment of the gallery next time they visit.
