Work in the South Tank will be "constantly changing, constantly evolving, constantly shifting. The East Tank will be taken over this summer by a single new work by a Korean artist, Sung Hwan Kim, who will tell a story using drawing and writing as well as music, video, sound and sculpture. One will be used as back-of-house while the other two will permanently show live art, performance, film and installation as well as hosting symposiums and conferences. The new spaces are three 30-metre-wide concrete oil tanks decommissioned more than 30 years ago. "The Tanks are the first spaces dedicated permanently to live art, installation and performance in any museum building anywhere in the world."
"The public wishes to engage with these works in a very different way from simply going in to a gallery and observing the work on the floor or a wall. While the gallery had always been an enthusiastic collector and exhibitor of installation and live art, the Tanks offered something new, he said. Tate's director, Nicholas Serota, called the Tanks incredible spaces and said the festival was a very exciting moment for Tate.
