Tate Modern update

Two visitors to the latest Tate Modern installation came a cropper during a private viewing this week. The 167-metre long ‘crack’ in the floor of the Turbine Hall lured the pair into losing their footing before stepping into the fissure. Despite not suffering serious injury, the duo who stumbled into the crack must surely be severely embarrassed. A spokesperson for the Tate said there were no plans to erect barriers around the crack, and over 12,000 visitors had successfully avoided injury on the first day of public viewing.
