Sounds interesting, doesnt it ? Except I couldnt see any exhibition whatever, apart from what looked like a few fragments left over. Concerned , I went into the official gallery to enquire further.
The information desk looked blank: hadnt heard about it, it simply wouldnt be permitted on their gallery property without permission and [get this !] how would I like it if someone organised an arts exhibition in my little home without permission ? How twee ! I pointed out that Tate was a public building, supposedly dedicated to the spirit of modern art, not property rights ! Useless place
