A new annual series of site-specific Hyundai Commissions at the Tate Modern Turbine Hall commences with Mexican sculptor Abraham Cruzvillegas, best known for creating improvised sculptural works from local found objects and materials. During the 1990s and 2000s Cruzvillegas was among the key figure of a new wave of emerging conceptual artists. For this installation, Empty Lot, he creates a large geometric sculpture using scaffolding, a grid of wooden planters, and soil collected from parks across London. The soil will be lit by lamps and watered throughout the six month display, provoking questions about city and nature.
