If you are interested,it is a Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth in miniature.
I made a small deep tub of mortar (concrete would be no good as the aggregate would be too large).
When it was nearly set I cut it into separate sections with a false crack and then floated the mortar into those, so that essentially I had several sections of mortar, mortared together.
This I broke apart this morning.
I made a tiny 1.5 inch pointing trowel out of a margarine pot lid and a roofing nail too.
You heathen fool!

Noit really really isn't
The crack in the tate has to be the biggest mis-use of the space ever.
It was crap.

I think that it was actually quite impressive.The pure process of creating it was impressive and in that barren area the juxtaposition (which was not part of her purpose - she was trying to highlight racial injustice) was beautiful.
I think hers offered a better ROI than mine and mine only cost about £2 to make.

NSFW!The big plastic hoover helped take the smell away,
but there was a lot of smoke.
Can you see this?

It is a sodding soldering iron!

fuck, i can't believe you actually made it, rather than just finding a crack in the pavement or something.
well, i suppose if you can no longer impregnate the missus you've gotta find some kind of crack that's worthwhile.
i love the patch jobthey've done at the tate.
just filled in the crack and smoothed over so you can see where it was.

Yes, it is a little sad that they fucked up something which was actually quite breathtakingby pretending it was more than just pretty.
I did use the original as a model when I was segmenting the nearly dry mortar.
For myself, I placed kitchen weights under the block and pressed down at the edges. Doris obviously was not able to do that with the Tate, I think her construction of the piece was impressive.

Decent engineering is always impressive - see anything by Kingrom BrunelBut this does not make it art.
The singular most impressive thing in the Tate (with one exception) is the gantry crane in the main hall. The one exception was that "sun" setting into the mirrors of the roof. That was trés cool.
That means that the best thing in the Tate is not art. Oh, the irony.

Hmm,that depends - if Brunel had built Box tunnel just for it to be looked at then yes, it would be art.
