Walking Under The Table

Having been tipped off by @Tate on twitter. I wondered over to Tate Modern to see this this afternoon:



Robert Therrien has basically just created a standard table and 4 chairs


...at 3.5 times their usual size.

Very cool, but gave me that sudden feeling that I shouldn't have touched that bottled labelled "Drink Me"

It's on display on the third floor until 24 October. Well worth a look, but unfortunately you're not allowed to sit on the chairs or eat off the table.

They've also got Therrien's "Red Room" on display (it's basically what the name suggests - picture here), also on the third floor, but in with surrealist stuff, but unfortunately where they've placed it only a few people can view it at once so it's difficult to get at.

Why settle for a houseboat when you could have one of these?

This is shiney:




It's the world's first floating apartment block! It's designed by Dutch architect Koen Olthuis and given how much of the Netherlands is reclaimed wetlands this is probably a useful thing for them to be building.
