Towards Tate Modern provides a new interdisciplinary account of
Tate's shifting position as a national arts institution. The book
examines how earlier government directives impacted on Tate, which
saw the organisation refocusing its aims and resulted in it
pioneering new models for working across the public and private
sectors. The decade prior to the opening of Tate Modern witnessed a
changing political, economic, cultural and social landscape. As
London was rebuilding its own vision, Tate re-configured its role
as a public museum and gallery by engaging with the market. Tate
re-imagined what a public museum and gallery can do, what it can
look like and where it can be and, in doing so, responded to a new
kind of audience with a larger appetite than before. Re-cast as a
cultural and social forum, Tate Modern turned itself into a popular
public event. This research considers how Tate Modern generated a
set of new debates and what this might mean for the future role of
the public museum and gallery. Towards Tate Modern will be of
particular interest to academics and students, art practitioners
and policy makers working in the fields of museum studies, policy
studies, cultural studies, urban studies, and political and
economic history, as well as those involved in archival research.
It will also engage those wishing to widen their understanding of
how an institution such as Tate Modern was created.
