The turbine hall at Tate Modern, I think.

Nice shots. I especially like St. Paul's picked out in sunlight against the clouds.

yes Its the entrance to 'How it is'

Essentially a big box lined with black fabric so that as you walk in, its completely pitch dark. Not really art but quite fun.

Interesting, what is your definition of art?

Not a giant shipping container lined with black felt.

I think the idea of modern art is just to provoke emotion. Which that black container did. It was incredible to walk in and see nothing! No perception of depth, height, anything - it is quite an experience, and the low hum of the air conditioning ducts gave the whole thing a very surreal atmosphere.

Thanks for the kind words chaps - anything I can do to improve?

It really does have to be experienced to be understood. It was quite something.
