Frances Morris, director of Tate Modern, Anish Kapoor on designing at the ENO, Embrace of the Serpent review
Featuring Tate Modern director Frances Morris on the new extension, sculptor Anish Kapoor on his set design for ENO's Tristan and Isolde, and a review of Embrace of the Serpent.
Frances Morris became the first female Director of Tate Modern only a few months ago, but has been instrumental in developing its collections for many years. Next week she will open a new 260 million pound extension to the iconic former power station on London's Southbank; boasting four new galleries. The new space is a great opportunity to display more international works and more female artists alongside old favourites and, she says, will make us view contemporary art in a whole new way.
Sculptor Anish Kapoor on his epic set design for English National Opera's new production of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.
Embrace of the Serpent, directed by Colombian film maker Ciro Guerro, is inspired by the true stories of two European explorers who travelled through the Amazon in parallel journeys, decades apart, hunting for a mythical plant. Hannah McGill reviews.
