The Tate is renovating. There are huge panoramic windows looking out over the construction area, busy with cranes and men with power tools.
In a really Aussie accent, I say to the bloke standing next to me at the window: “I really like this installation piece. It’s very dynamic and industrial.”
He makes a sound like “tssk” and moves away.
