[London] Sliding at Tate Modern

[mirrorshard]

From today's Observer, the new installation in the turbine hall at Tate Modern will be opening on Tuesday.

It's a giant playground with slides by Carsten Holler, and visitors will be encouraged to slide down them. At least one uses the entire five-storey height of the turbine hall.

I plan on going ASAP, most likely Tuesday or Wednesday, and would be delighted to have company.

Wednesday is good for me! (Tuesday may be as well - there's an intriguing talk in Cambridge, but I don't really need to go to it. And it would involve going all the way to Cambridge.)

How about meeting up there at 11am on Wednesday, then, for sliding and lunch?

Sounds good - on the balcony in Turbine Hall, assuming it's accessible with the current installation?
