The Roof Holding the Walls Together at Tate Modern

Kevin Flude Performance: Marie Lund: The Roof Holding the Walls Together Performed by Kevin Flude at Tate Modern and at the Drawing Room Marie Lund is a Danish artist involved with the Drawing Room gallery and with the symposiums 'Best Laid Plans' http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eventseducation/symposia/22180.htm . The art piece was a performance which originated with a vision of a Museum created by a Danish architect. Marie got a transcript of an explanation of the never built building and asked Kevin Flude to read the transcript using his skills as a tour guide to bring it to life. This is part of the text 'Today, I could imagine the museum rougher. Placed there amongst the cliffs, wedged in. And when you move in, down there through the spaces, you see the rock wall, it has been excavated with explosives, and glass has been placed in front, so maybe some water could flow down.' Marie wanted the reading to be naturalistic, and not either over-polished or over dramatic.
