Empty Lot is a large-format geometric sculpture using scaffolds, triangular wood planters, and soil collected from London parks, including Peckham, Haringey, and Westminster. The planters are empty, but the soil was heated by lamps and watered regularly over the course of six months. The unpredictable character of the work, which can grow and change from one week to the next, raises questions about the city and about nature, as well as broader ideas about chance, change, and hope. A new series of site-specific installations by contemporary artists is presented in the Tate Modern's emblematic Turbine Hall. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the Hyundai Commission, a unique long-term partnership between the Tate Modern and Hyundai Motor. Turbine Hall has held some of the most memorable and acclaimed works of contemporary art, and millions of people visit it every year. The yearly Hyundai Commission will provide artists with an opportunity to create a new work for this context, using the museum to give visibility to each winner's work. Cruzvillegas is the second Latin American artist to exhibit in this hall. Empty Lot will be on view through April 3rd, 2016.
