The second annual Hyundai Commission, a series of site-specific works created for the Turbine Hall by renowned international artists, is part of the partnership between Tate and Hyundai Motor. This year’s commission is entitled Anywhen by French artist Philippe Parreno.

Anywhen presents itself as an instrument which performs a series of functions and constructs a series of situations. The hall’s lights are controlled and activated according to different sequences. An additional moving light casts shadows throughout the hall and a large central ‘marquee’ – a canopy covered in lights – is suspended over the level 1 bridge.

A changing soundscape is broadcast from various sources, blurring the sense of inside and outside, public and private, natural and technological. Vertical and horizontal acoustic panels, a screen, a grid of speakers and a projector come together in different configurations, and from time to time they present a film featuring a stage ventriloquist and underwater creatures.
