Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall once generated enormous amounts of electricity through polluting coal fire. Now, it houses Sámi artist Máret Ánne Sara’s monumental sculpture, which asks us to rethink what we mean by power.
The Canary in the Turbine Hall
Máret Ánne Sara contends that the destruction of Samí lands foreshadows similar threats to more temperate regions and calls for alternative frameworks of knowledge.

Man Ray :
Noire et Blanche (French: Black and White), 1926

Gelatin silver print
17.1 × 22.5 cm | 6.75 × 8-7/8 in

Further description in the alt text 👇
The title of the photograph refers both to the medium of black and white photography and the duality expressed in the dichotomy between the caucasian female model and the African black mask. The photograph depicts the famous French model Kiki de Montparnasse, posing expressionless, with her eyes closed and her head lying on a table, holding with her left hand a black African mask vertically upon its surface. The picture juxtaposes the similarities between the soft oval white face of the model, as if she were a living mask, with the shiny black mask, also with eyes closed and a serene expression. It also expresses the artist's interest in African art, which had a huge influence in the artistic movements of the first decades of the 20th century.

Applying the logic of right-wingery this must mean that all fascists and assorted racist gammons have micropenis'.

I am as treasured as toasties, as marvelling as marmalade, as frequent as flapjacks, a favourite feast, as rich as raspberry jam, as glad as spicy rice, bright in a dish, I am happy. As bursting with bluesy at breakfast as blueberries, as shining in copper at Christmas as caramel. I am as treasured as toasties, left till gold to be a seeping-with-fillings treat at snack time. As marvelling at the miraculous of the world as marmalade. As frequent as flapjacks, with oat finery. As rich as a ribbon red layer of raspberry jam in a biscuit. As glad as a grain of spicy rice in a dish. I am happy. I am as afternoon time as a toasted tea cake, as marvelling as marmalade, as frequent as flapjacks, a favourite feast, as rich as raspberry jam, as glad as spicy rice, bright in a dish, I am happy.

And now it's wearing off.
