Art review Turbine of dripping goo too low on energy to be disgusting

Tate Modern's Turbine Hall commission is always a daunting prospect for an artist.

- Adrian Searle

Since Louise Bourgeois first occupied the space in 2000, soon after the museum opened, with her towers and a gigantic spider, there have been 22 commissions, some more memorable than others.

We have had artificial sunsets and a funfair of slides. We have seen piles of ceramic sunflower seeds, a crack in the floor, lots of hanging cloths and knotted ropes, a sound installation, live storytellers, a spatial conundrum, fish floating in the air and a giant femidomthing. Whatever next?

We have become familiar with the unfamiliar and expectation now vies with a certain ennui. As well as an invitation, the commission is also a challenge, as each narrows the formal options for whoever and whatever comes next.

How about putting a turbine in the Turbine Hall, and returning the space to its original function as Bankside power station? The Korean artist Mire Lee's Open Wound, the 23rd Turbine Hall commission, opens today with a big turbine slung mid-air in the enormous space.
