Over the past twelve weeks, curators Stuart Comer, Catherine Wood, and Kathy Noble have invited dozens of artists to present new and old performances, installations, and film and multimedia works in the Tanks. The Tanks’ current stage of programming-an elastic, fifteen-week series of exhibitions and events titled “Art in Action”-runs through October 28, at which time the galleries will temporarily close while construction resumes on the next phase of the museum’s expansion. Formerly the repository of a million gallons of oil, the Tanks are touted as the first museum galleries in the world permanently dedicated to live art, film, and installation.
On July 18, 2012, Tate Modern launched the Tanks, a subterranean group of cylindrical chambers and other spaces that constitute the first phase in a dramatic expansion of the museum’s building by Herzog & de Meuron.
