Late at Tate Modern

The detailed programme for Late at Tate Modern will only be available two weeks in advance.  Most events do not require tickets,  but some do.  If you wish to attend the latter, you will need to book a ticket when the programme comes out.   Some information about the night is currently on the Tate website, please click here.  I recommend that you check the Tate website near the time.

Several regular exhibitions (see below) are also open during the late opening.  I am told by the customer service that tickets are only released for online booking 2 weeks in advance.

This was probably the record turnout for a social event (ex-Xmas party), n=21, with 20 attended pub F&B. About 10 gathered at the entrance to the Turbine Hall for 'meet and greet' they were joined later by others either inside Tate or in the pub. Probably about 10-12 walkers attened Philip Guston exhibition which was interesting but also unsettling in equal measures. The film at the end of the exhibition documented his life and his approach through his own voice. He summed up the Abstract Art for those who have difficulties grasping the subject: 'The trouble with recognizeable art is that it excludes too much', 'I want my work to include more', 'more also comprises one's doubts about the object, plus the problem, the dilemma, of recognizing it'....

Founder's Arm was packed, fortunately, we had two tables booked for 20. Food was OK and we left just after 10pm. A great night out in good company.
