If the grey skies have got you down, perhaps you should grab a friend or two and visit the new installation at the Tate Modern.<\/h3>\n

Danish artist collective SUPERFLEX created the installation, appropriately called ‘One, Two, Three, Swing!’ for the third annual Hyundai commission. Although it may look like a fun playground, there is a deeper meaning behind the project.<\/p>\n

The installation is split into three sections, which represent apathy, production and movement. As you walk down Turbine hall, there is a stripey carpet that covers the sloping entrance. Above there is a mammoth sized mirrored pendulum that swings back and forth.<\/p>\n

Next is the main event. 22 swings three-person swings fill the lower part of the hall. The whole thing had to be carefully designed so visitors do not kick other passersby. There is also a section where you can assemble swings for yourself in a factory.<\/p>\n

According to the Guardian: \u201cThe idea is that people can have fun while contemplating bigger issues such as community, capitalism or themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

We went to check out the installation for ourselves. – Check out the video!<\/p>\n

The interactive installation is available to visit until the 2nd<\/sup> of April 2018<\/p>\n
