TateThat This living city of weeds is one of the most exciting works to take over the Turbine Hall The Telegraph Nurture is playing a key role in the creation of a critically-acclaimed living art display in Tate Modern’s Bankside gallery. The inaugural Hyundai Commission for the Turbine Hall is by Abraham Cruzvillegas, an artist known for creating sculptures by improvising with different materials. Empty Lot is a large geometric sculpture created using scaffolding, a grid of triangular wooden planters, and soil collected from parks across London including Peckham, Haringey and Westminster. Nothing has been added to the soil which is being lit by lamps and watered by Nurture twice a week throughout the six month display. According to Tate Modern “The evolving nature of the work, which may grow and change from one week to the next, provokes questions about the city and nature, as well as wider ideas of chance, change, and hope.”
