182460 5 Location 450943 <p>Whether you're a modern art junkie or you think it's plain junk, you'll love the Tate Modern. Admission is free, but some exhibitions you have to pay to get into. I didn't pay a penny and I still had fun.</p><p>Once you've got over the challenge of distinguishing between the art installations and the light fixtures, there's hours of amusement. Some of the art is genuinely inventive - like the reconstruction of the shed blown to pieces, with pieces of wood and flattened watering cans suspended in mid air and throwing weird shadows on the wall. Or the time-lapse photography of the bowl of fruit which gradually goes rotten over the course of&nbsp;five minutes. </p><p>But there's some real crap here, too, which makes&nbsp;the whole thing much less worthy and a lot more hilarious. Where else could you see a guy covered in baked beans jumping naked&nbsp;on a trampoline? Or someone&nbsp;putting on every single item of their wardrobe in the tiniest bathroom in the world? &nbsp;</p><p>Even more fun is watching the ernest expressions of the people watching this, pretending they know something about art (I will freely admit I know nothing about art). An afternoon's entertainment I would definitely recommend.</p> 2006-09-08T23:15:36-07:00 572555271 2006-09-29T17:00:00-07:00 0 16 153025 2143365 182460 0 196777 0.0111128247135303 2006-09-08T17:00:00-07:00 Published 10.0 2006-09-08T23:24:32-07:00 52086 0
