I was nervous about visiting the new Tate Modern gallery as like many people I can make head nor tail of modern art I know I quite like some of it furry things in particular neon light sculptures and massive photographs Perhaps if I were better informed about it Id have an opinion on more things There again yours not meant to set about it in a schoolessay way The point is not to grasp art but to let it communicate with you This is a splendid idea but one that never worked for me in practice But this new gallery has tried to give the visitor a genuine insight into the whys and wherefores of the works The first thing I noticed were the labels proper labels that set a work in context and actually told you what it was trying to say Instead of staring blankly at the pictures as I used to these nuggets of information helped me understand
