Chapman Attacks Tate Modern: It’s Bad

Jake Chapman, a Turner Prize finalist, and “half of the pair dubbed ‘the Brothers Grim’, has unleashed an excoriating attack on the Tate Modern and Saatchi galleries, accusing them of threatening the future of art by bowing to the lowest common denominator. He called the Tate a ‘monument to absolute cultural saturation’ and said he would rather take a ride at Alton Towers than look at some of its contents. Charles Saatchi’s gallery was ‘simply an expression of one man’s ownership’.”
