Carsten Holler

Posted by John Pedlow

This is Carsten Holler's Test Site which was displayed in Tate Modern between October 2006 and April 2007. The work consisted of five slides made of metal and fiberglass. This to me is one of the coolest forms of art I have ever seen because visitors were allowed to slide down the slides. I would never before taking this class have considered something like this art and would have just thought that they were some pretty huge slides. However after taking this class I have broaden my view of what is actually art and this definitely is art and I must say that this is one of the more interesting works I have come across.
