Over 40 established and emerging artists from across the world will be taking part, including Ei Arakawa (Japan), Jelili Atiku (Nigeria), Nina Beier (Denmark), Tania Bruguera (Cuba), Boris Charmatz (France), Keren Cytter (Israel), Tina Keane (UK), Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (Belgium), Liu Ding (China), Jeff Keen (UK), Anthea Hamilton (UK), Sung Hwan Kim (Korea), Rabih Mroué (Lebanon), Paulina Olowska (Warsaw), Eddie Peake (UK), Yvonne Rainer (US), Lis Rhodes (UK), Aldo Tambellini (US) and Haegue Yang (Korea). The opening programme is supported by The Tanks Supporters Group.
A major new commission and recent acquisitions will go on display for the first time and, for ten days during the festival, the programme will be created by and for young people. The festival will allow audiences to explore new developments in art practice and learning, see bold new work being developed by artists, and engage more deeply with the programme. The Tanks are raw, industrial spaces which provide an anchor and home for the live art and film programmes which have previously been presented in diverse spaces around Tate Modern. The Tanks will be launched with a fifteen-week festival from 18 July to 28 October 2012 celebrating performance and installation art and the historical works that have shaped it. The launch is part of the London 2012 Festival, the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad.
Tate Modern’s transformation continues with the opening of the Tanks on 18 July 2012 as the world’s first museum galleries permanently dedicated to exhibiting live art, performance, installation and film works.
