ENGLAND // It's been decked with swings, covered in fake sunflower seeds, rent by a great crack and bathed in the light of a strange sun. Tate Modern's Turbine Hall - an impressive space that drops into the earth, its vast roof and industrial concrete making it a perfect secular church - has hosted all manner of showstopping exhibitions. And it's just one space in an art gallery that's full of them. Tate Modern occupies a former power station on the South Bank of the Thames - it opened in 2000, but such is its effect that it feels like it's been there forever. And it's kept expanding, its permanent galleries (home to a fine collection of post-1900 British art) and main temporary exhibition spaces joined in recent years by a whole new wing, lending this already huge collection a rush of new rooms and an enormously popular viewing gallery.
