Tate have been using the last gallery to feature an artist with a video that requires no invigilator and often sadly fails to capture many visitors' attention as they leave without stopping to view it.
This one being only a five minute loop has some chance of being seen.
As before there is little information on the artist and no catalogue, although she has exhibited widely and made a variety of work.
Here she shows a model house within which a woman is restricted but moves. There are also shots of a woman with elaborate eye make up eating a house shaped cake with considerable dramatic attack.
I was reminded of Marisol's sculptures in the seventies' wave of American feminism.
It was quirky and puzzling and I could not see the connection with Gabo which was said to be there.
I think these small additional shows deserve more resources - at least a leaflet.
It seems like a sweetie given on the way out.
sorry Speed
