BALTIMORE MUSEUM OF ART (BMA)
TATE MODERN London, UK
■ OPENING 2012-2016
Phase two of the Tate Modern £215m (156.4m, US$195.8m) redevelopment project will provide more floors of galleries and increase the art gallery’s exhibition space by 70 per cent. It is due for comple- tion in 2016 and beyond.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the massive extension will include the creation of a spectacular new building adjoining the existing Tate Modern to the south. Phase one of the expansion plans − the world’s first permanent exhibition space for live art, installation and perfor-

mance works within the former London power station’s oil tanks − was unveiled in July to coincide with the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
The circular spaces (vacant since the Bankside Power Station was decommis- sioned in 1981) span 30m (98ft) across by 7m (23ft) high. The first exhibition features Korean artist Sung Hwan Kim and will host the 15-week Art in Action festival. According to Tate Trustees, phase one was made possible by donations, who so far have raised over three quarters of the total capital costs. Adding to private dona- tions, Tate has received £50m (62.6m, US$78.3m) from the government and a further £7m (8.8m, US$11m) from the Greater London Authority.
