Tacita Dean to follow Ai Weiwei as Tate Modern's Turbine Hall artist



Tacita Dean, the British artist known for her work with film, has been commissioned to create the next installation for the Lobby of London's Tate Modern. She will come after Ai Weiwei who paved the Hall with 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds.

“We've never really had anyone who has approached the Turbine Hall from the point of view of filmmaking, and the role and importance of the camera in articulating and animating space,” said Tate Modern Chief Curator Sheena Wagstaff in an interview at press launch.
