Tate Modern opened two major exhibitions in the Tanks, the subterranean galleries in the Blavatnik Building. The works were displayed until 4 February 2018. Emeka Ogboh’s sound installation, The Way Earthly Things Are Going, combined stock exchange data scrolling around the circumference of the East Tank’s LED displays with a lament played through 12 speakers. Ogboh’s work was first shown at documenta 14 in Athens earlier that year. Indian artist Amar Kanwar’s The Lightning Testimonies, an eight-channel digital video installation, was also shown in the South Tank. The work explores sexual violence in times of political conflict.
