Amalgum, in collaboration with the artists Richard Wentworth and Joseph Smith, propose to to install a London Bus, parked in the middle of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The bus would be ‘open’ to visitors to the gallery. All the windows of the bus would be etched with pictures in the manner of the graffiti that appears scratched into existing bus windows. Visitors could experience these from inside the bus and outside within the gallery itself.

Tate Modern Turbine Hall
Installation Proposal
Cardboard Concorde.

The proposal is to enlist a group of volunteers to create an exact replica of the supersonic aircraft; Concorde, entirely from recycled cardboard boxes and suspend the resulting sculpture from the ceiling of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The boxes would remain unadorned or decorated in any way, and should reveal their original origins.

Tate Modern Turbine Hall
Installation Proposal
Dafen.

Proposed collaboration between Amalgum and volunteers. Dafen takes it's name from the village in China that specialises in the making of large numbers of replica oil paintings. The turbine hall will be filed with easels, canvases, painting equipment and reference materials laid out in a regiment manner to enable participants to copy works from the Tate collection. Each week the paintings will be removed and sold allowing the space to be reset and the next set of reproductions to be made.
